M&S support for Birstall BAGS BIRSTALL BAGS, the local cancer charity, have been chosen by the Thurmaston Marks & Spencer store as their charity for the year. Sharon Bailey from M&S said: “Each store chooses a charity to support, it’s our way of contributing something back to our customers. There was a vote among the store staff and we chose Birstall BAGS.” Volunteers have spent weekends packing customers’ shopping and col-
lecting donations. Sharon said: “It’s a local charity and the reaction from customers has been very positive. Later in the year we plan
to provide some garden furniture for the BAGS Time Out group”. Continued on page 2

Correction THE ARTICLE, Plans For Extra Primary Places, published in the July 2014 Birstall Post, contained a suggestion that developers Jelson had "wriggled their way out of" their obligations in respect of the Section 106 Agreement in relation to the provision of a combined primary school/recreation centre at Hallam Fields. The Birstall Post wishes to clarify that there has never been any requirement that Jelson construct these facilities at Hallam Fields and that therefore the article incorrectly gave the impression that Jelson had shirked their responsibilities. The delivery of the primary school/recreation centre is a County Council obligation. The County Council have resolved that it is no longer appropriate to provide a new primary school and instead to negotiate an appropriate contribution with Jelson towards the provision of primary school places at an existing primary school. Those negotiations on the level of contribution, and the form of the alternative recreation provision, are not yet complete. The Birstall Post apologises for not contacting Jelson for comment before the publication of the article, and for any possible damage caused by its publication.
