NOTICE ANYTHING DIFFERENT?

Region & Route:

| Southern

Network Rail is helping to keep the Parish of Levington and Stratton Hall communicating with the donation of two new parish notice boards. One of the boards has been erected at Red House Farm and will house local council and community notices. Network Rail made this donation following the major bridge work it undertook in autumn 2003.  The road across the bridge was closed for a number of weeks and single-way traffic was in operation until the lengthy bridge upgrade had been completed. Mark Livock Network Rail, Project Director said: “We understand that the bridge closure and traffic arrangements caused some inconvenience to villagers, but we would like to thank everyone for their continued patience and support. This donation is just a small gesture to show our appreciation to the Parish Council and the community of Levington and Stratton Hall.”             David Long, Chairman of the Parish Council, said: “The village welcomes the kind donation in recognition of the inconvenience caused by the bridge upgrade.  The money will benefit the whole village through the provision of a new notice board.”
