Attention all Youth Leaders!!
Environmental Action For A Better Leicestershire (ENABLE), the County wide environmental partnership, is launching a new scheme to loan renewable energy resource kits. This resource will add to the eco-school objectives to deliver sustainable education through schools in Leicestershire.
The resource includes a miniature wind turbine, PV cell and solar water heater for use as a teaching resource. We will be also providing a set of lesson plans that helps teachers to link applications of these kits to the National Curriculum. More »
The kits will be available to all the schools in Leicestershire for the term starting 20th April 2009.
Why?
We are witnessing climate change and the Government is encouraging us to pass the message to our next generation – School Children.
What you can use it for?
You will be provided briefing notes with lesson plans integrating to Science, Geography, ICT, CARE, PSE, etc. showing their links to the National Curriculum.
How much does it cost?
You can borrow these kits for free, there will be a small delivery charge or you could collect and return them yourself. You can also spread the delivery charge by borrowing other items from the Resource Box Scheme.
How long can we keep the loans for?
Schools can borrow up to 25 items from the Resource box including these kits for a whole school term. Non-school borrowers can borrow at any time for a fixed agreed time.
ORDER NOW!! There are only 20 sets available on first come first serve basis. To reserve your renewable energy kit, contact Resource Box Officer on 01455 552834 or sherrier@leics.gov.uk

As most of you will be aware there are suggestions that an Incinerator may well be build within the Parish.
The Parish Council have set up an "Action Group" which have regular meetings. All members of the Parish are welcome to come to the meetings. All meetings are advertised on the noticeboards and sandwich boards around the Village.
As and when we get more information about the proposals, they will be added to the website.
At the meeting on 3rd June 2008, Cllrs Hyde and Harris both tendered their resignations from the Parish Council.
Members thanked the Councillors for their hard work and commitment and wished them well for the future.
We are sorry to see them go.
Ellistown and Battleflat Parish Council currently have vacanies for three Parish Councillors.

At the Parish Council Meeting in February the following charges were agreed for the rent for 2008/2009:
£20 Per Plot - £15 for OAPs
Letters have been sent to all current plot holders which included copies of the Terms and Conditions of Tenancy which they are asked to sign and return with their rent.
Also in February current plot holders and others on the waiting list got together to mark out 18 new plots as part of the Phase 1 development plan. Nine of these were taken up immediately by people on the waiting list. These plots are mostly covered with rough grass and have not been cultivated for a few years and so will be rent free for the first year! More »
Anyone interested in a plot should contact Barbara Weston on 01530 456071 (please leave a message if the answer machine is switched on) « Less
