Save Baschurch Fire Station

Message from Colin Case.

Our Fire Crews attend more Road Traffic Accidents than fires.
This is the latest.
Where would we be without the Baschurch Fire Crew?
Write to our MP (Owen Paterson) and insist that Baschurch remains operational.

From the Shropshire Star (my emphasis) :-

Firefighters were called to attend the crash at about 10.40am. It caused traffic congestion along the main A5/A483 route.

The driver was not trapped in his cab and was uninjured in the crash which happened at a roundabout near Oswestry Orthopaedic Hospital.

Firefighters were called to deal with a fuel spillage from the crashed lorry.

Crews from Oswestry, Ellesmere, Baschurch and Wellington were called to the incident.

They used soil to deal with the fuel spillage.

A spokeswoman from the West Midlands Ambulance Service said they were not called to the incident.

Has someone lost a cat??

Message from Cindy.

"There is a deceased black cat in the little playground opposite the old Bridge Inn, very likely knocked down by a car but I have been unable to locate the owner."

Please let me know if you can help and I will let Cindy know.

This such a good use for the Mailing list - Cindy sent out the message at 13.05 and I have sent this out about 3/4 of an hour later.

Please make use of the mailing list.
