Please take a look at some correspondence between my neighbour Allen Whitehead and the Council regarding a solution to some of the worst effects of the continuing and arguably worsening flooding in the village. I expect we may see some more.
The louder we, as a community shout, the more likely the authorities will hear.

As I'm sure you all know, long term Stenton residents Geoff & Laurie Underwood have decided to move to Fife to be closer to their family.
To say a fond farewell, the Community Association Committee thought it would would be nice to invite Geoff & Laurie back to the village for lunch with the community on Saturday 8 May 2010 at 12.30 in the Village Hall. All are welcome.
In order to allow us to make appropriate catering arrangements, could you please let Emma Maguire know if you are able to come to the lunch by Wednesday 28 April 2010. Either hit reply to this message or give Emma a call on 850643.
We look forward to hearing from you and hope you can make it to say a proper goodbye to Geoff & Laurie.
Thanks

About L’Arche
In L’Arche people with and without learning disabilities share home life in ordinary houses, much like any family.
L’Arche, which was founded in France in 1964 by Canadian Jean Vanier recognises that people with learning disabilities have a valid place at the heart of society. There are now L’Arche homes in 36 countries. In Scotland there are L’Arche houses and flats in Inverness and Edinburgh. Plans are now afoot to set up another house in Edinburgh and to found a house in Kenya.
To help raise the required funds retired Edinburgh GP Gerry McPartlin is currently engaged in a challenge to climb all the Munros in less than four months; his aim is to contribute £50,000 to the cause. Stenton Singers are supporting his efforts. We would be very grateful for your support.
