Coastal View & Moor News Issue 29 November - December 2012 Communities doing it for themselves
committee pays for the lighting. “In Moorsholm, the tree provided by Redcar
& Cleveland Council a few years ago is still surviving, but the planned evening public switch-on could be jeopardised by the high over- time charge imposed by the Council’s lighting contractors.” Saltburn councillor Stuart Smith told us: “This
year’s Christmas light switch on which is on the 1st December is a community organised event led by the Parish Clerk Tracy Meadows for the Parish Council and Paul Thomson, Station Office, Saltburn Fire Station. “The organisation committee involves
representatives of Saltburn 500 Club, Redcar and Cleveland Council Neighbourhood team, Ward Councillors, local businesses and Saltburn Neighbourhood Policing Team. This group has been meeting on a monthly basis since early in the year. “To ensure that this years event looks truly festive the town has been decorated with Christmas motives and miniature Christmas trees by community volunteers from the 500 club, proceedings will start at 10am with a Christmas table top stalls, brass bands, face painting, and free fair ground rides for children.” Brotton councillor Barry Hunt said: “As always

HUMBUG. It is obvious that Redcar must have the main event but with all the events that are happening at Kirkleatham too, it appears that there is an uneven distribution of the money available, in these times of hardship. Cllr McLuckie said “I am sure you will agree

we get and fund our own tree and entertainment in Skinningrove, the council help by putting some of the lights on the trees and by connecting them to the electric supply. “Carlin How has lights at the community centre
and I think they own them. They have lights on the main road, provided by Redcar and Cleveland and I am also trying to get some lights for some trees near the top of Loftus Bank. “The one thing I am sure of is, it doesn’t matter
what Cllr McLuckie cuts, we will not let it spoil our Christmas. We will do what we have to and try to make it a Happy Christmas in our part of East Cleveland but I have one last thing to say to the people who make the decisions
that in these times there is a balancing act to be done between providing Christmas illuminations and maintaining vital frontline services.” We are so lucky to live in areas where communities pull together to make sure we celebrate Christmas, because if Redcar & Cleveland had it’s way, Christmas in parts of East Cleveland may have had to be cancelled!

Do you take your eyes for granted?
Every day around 100 people in the UK start to lose their sight, don’t let this happen to you.
The leading causes of blindness in the UK include Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma, Cataracts and Diabetic eye disease.
A really good eye test should take between 30 and 60 minutes to make sure you get the best possible vision and to give your eyes a full health check. The eye examination should include careful checks for all of the above eye conditions. I will give you this complete eye exam at my new practice in Loftus. Don’t be one of the 100 people who daily lose their vision, book your test today.
