Press release from Woodhall Spa Parish Council
 

Spa to take over running of Jubilee Park

Woodhall Spa could be running Jubilee Park itself from the end of the 2010 season if all goes to plan.
At a packed public meeting on 22nd September, the Parish Council received overwhelming support for its proposal that the community takes over the running of the park from the district council and with its support. This would be subject to the acceptance of a business plan for the facility.

Over 200 people squeezed into St Peter’s Hall, to hear Parish Council Chairman David Clarke explain the background to the council’s proposal, designed to safeguard the long-term future of the Park, which has been run by East Lindsey District Council since local government re-organisation in 1974.

Woodhall Spa Policing Panel
   

The Woodhall Spa Policing panel is formed and run by members of the community in order to highlight local community issues and work together, with the help of outside agencies, to solve them.

In effect it is a way for those within the community to have a say how local Policing works within their area.
  
The panel have been together for almost a year now and here are some of the local community issues they have tackled:

Cottage Museum launches new appeal
   
Woodhall Spa is well known because of its wartime connections with the R.A.F. 617 Squadron who were responsible for the ‘Dam Buster’ raids and the sinking of the Tirpitz.  However, there is an equally compelling story regarding the village’s involvement with the troops of the 1st Air Landing Brigade prior to them being sent to Arnhem to take part in ‘Operation Market Garden’ 

We are aware that troops involved in ‘Operation Market Garden’ were stationed in and around Woodhall Spa until and after the battle for Arnhem. There were several camps and many houses used to billet soldiers including the 7th Kings Own Scottish Borderers, the 2nd South Staffordshire Regiment and the 1st Battalion Border Regiment. The museum has little archival material relating to this and has recently undertaken the task of researching and developing its collection.  We have now managed to produce a small display within the Museum and continue to request local residents to provide us with any information they have. 

The Museum's 'team', comprising staff member Jackie Goodall, volunteers Anna & Rico Philips and local police officer Simon Elmer, realised that Woodhall Spa was the only village in the area where troops were billeted not to have a memorial dedicated to the memory of those who fell at Arnhem.  We have decided to remedy this and have begun making arrangements to erect a  memorial stone in the Museum’s garden. 

A Service of Dedication is planned for the morning of  Saturday 18th September 2010 in conjunction with other activities/events associated with Arnhem and wartime Britain, including a screening of the 1946 film 'Theirs Is The Glory' , filmed at Arnhem , at the Kinema In The Woods . We hope that several veterans who were stationed here will attend, and we are keen to contact any others and their families to join us. We are also keen to receive information about  Polish Army units who were based in Woodhall until their disbandment. These included the Polish Parachute Brigade, returning from occupation duties in Germany, and the 'Pomorski' Infantry Brigade who had served in Italy with the Polish 2nd Corps.

We have now begun to raise funds for the memorial and will be out in force at the Woodhall Spa Christmas Market.  Other events are planned, including a 1940s Dance at the Coronation Hall on 11th September 2010. Any reader who would like to contact us with information or support our efforts should contact Jackie Goodall on 01526 352454.

Japanese Knotweed found in Woodhall Spa
 

Japanese Knotweed can destroy the foundations of buildings and drains, so anyone who spots clumps should report it to the Parish Clerk immediately, so that it can be treated by experts. It is important not to cut or disturb the plant as this only spreads it and makes the situation worse.
