REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY 2008
 Sunday
9th November 2008 saw the Royal British Legion commemorate the end of World War I, II and other wars
at Louth's annual Remembrance Sunday event. A
Wreath Laying service took place at Louth War Memorial from 10.30am
and the Mayor, Councillor Francis W.P. Treanor laid a Wreath on behalf of Louth Town Council.
Canon Stephen Holdaway gave a short sermon at the War Memorial aided by
Councillor Gus Robertson, the President of the Royal British Legion Louth Branch
who said the Eulogy. A two minute
silence was observed and this provided a unique opportunity for us to reflect on lives lost
during all the Wars in which this country has fought.
Those assembled then paraded to St. James’ Church for Divine Service given by
Canon Stephen Holdaway. Public support was magnificent and it went a long way to making the event more memorable. Louth Town Council would like to thank the British Legion Louth Branch, the Team
Parish of Louth, the drummers, the bugler, all those
parading uniformed services and all the youngsters who were in attendance as
their participation made the event the reverent and honourable occasion that the
brave servicemen and women who gave their lives for this Country deserve.
WE WILL REMEMBER

PUBLIC FLOOD ALLEVIATION
MEETING
On Thursday 9th October 2008 Louth Town Council
hosted the above follow up meeting to the floods of 25th June 2007 and 20th July
2008 and a public flood meeting held at the time on 3rd October 2007.
This
follow up meeting was organised by Louth Town Council in order that the agencies
and authorities could return to demonstrate not only remedial works that have
been completed since the flooding but also larger scale preventative schemes
which have now been identified and have had funding bids placed. The meeting
was very positive. All agencies/authorities were commended for their work since
the flooding, especially the Environment Agency who were highly praised for
their work in the aftermath of the floods and since, regarding prevention of
future river flooding. It should be noted, however, that there appear to remain
a small number of local residents who have not yet received a satisfactory
response to their individual concerns. These residents were encouraged to
communicate directly with the Inter-agency Group led by ELDC who through joint
working are attempting to resolve all non river issues. The Town Council are
particularly pleased that some attendees showed an interest in becoming
volunteer flood wardens. Any other interested parties should contact the Town
Clerk on 01507 617305 for further information. Please click the following

Public Flood Alleviation Debrief
SUPERMARKET DEBATE
On Tuesday 29th July 2008 Louth Town Council hosted
a meeting for town centre shop keepers and businesses to debate the possibility
of a large supermarket coming to Louth. Debate centred around whether
development should be in the centre of town, edge of town or out of town. The
consensus of opinion was that a large supermarket of 30,000 square feet would be
best sited in the town centre and should not be sited on the edge or outside of
town. However, attendees felt that a better solution for Louth, rather
than allowing a large supermarket, would be to let either the existing
supermarkets develop by a further 10,000 square feet, or so, each, or allow two
or three smaller supermarkets to develop, in the centre of town, to meet the
30,000 square feet need for retail development that ELDC have identified. Finally,
attendees were of the opinion that town centre car parking needs to be reviewed
and changed.
