YEARS of frustratingly poor mobile phone signals could soon be coming to an end for hundreds of villagers.
Network provider EE has applied to put a 20-metre tower with antennae and dishes at the recreation ground in Aston-on-Trent.
It is hoped that the equipment can be installed this year; it would end years of complaints by local residents of poor reception.
The full story on this exciting move can be found in the March edition of Village Voice where readers will also discover how a local businessman and his Land Rover ended up in a huge hole in a Melbourne car park.
A spokesperson for Severn Trent said the water operator – which is conducting ground investigation works in Melbourne – has commissioned an engineering report and a contractor to repair the damage, as a gesture of goodwill.
The saga of what is going to happen to the old Senior Citizens’ Centre in Melbourne may soon be over. More than two years after the centre shut and five sets of design proposals a plan for five houses has been given the go-ahead. Full details of this are also in our latest issue.
You can also find out why:
* Former Melbourne vicar Steve Short is now the proud owner of a huge Lego model of Chewbacca.
* A couple who met in a chance encounter have celebrated their golden wedding anniversary.
* There is a change to the booking of appointments at Melbourne and Chellaston medical practices.
