NOCTON
PARISH COUNCIL wishes to
make parishioners aware that the Nocton Hall and the ex-hospital site
is in a
very dangerous condition and no-one should enter it.
A survey on behalf of NKDC has confirmed that
there is in some of the damaged buildings damaged asbestos in such a
state that
it will give off fibres if disturbed. Entering
a building is sufficient to make these very light
fibres
airborne so that they can be inhaled without knowledge.
This can cause incurable lung disease in
later years so young people are particularly at risk.
In addition, there are other hazards as
buildings are structurally unsafe, manholes without covers and much
broken
glass. NKDC have taken formal action by
serving a statutory notice on the owners to address health and safety
issues. The next Parish Council meeting
will be at 7 pm
on Tuesday 6th December.
Nocton
Hall – there
will be a meeting at the Village Hall at 2 pm on Monday 5th
December with English
Heritage, NKDC and Heritage Lincolnshire to discuss the possible saving
of
Nocton Hall. All are welcome.
At the ACE/RIBA Awards
ceremony at the Design Council in London on 9th November,
our ‘user
friendly’ pebble mosaic church path was
highly commended, coming a close second to Liverpool Catholic Cathedral
for the
£3000 award. Congratulations to everyone
who helped to achieve such a marvelous result.
