Blog | Burghwallis Parish Council. The local Bogans have decided that we deserve yet more of their rubbish. Last Wednesday evening a tipper truck reversed down Stoney Croft Lane to deposit a load of household rubbish completely blocking the bridle path. This festering mass of rubbish bags and household refuse has been ripped open by animals and now lies strewn across the bridle way. Everything from used disposable nappies to appliance packaging have formed a large pile for us all to enjoy. And so it continues. Whilst the Bogans of the world continue to exist we will possibly be left with their rubbish, or that of some unwitting soul who paid them to deliver the rubbish to a registered disposal site. The CCTV cameras installed along Scorcher Hills Lane have resulted in a significant reduction in dumped rubbish. But Stoney Croft Lane now needs some protection. Possible a nice new gate at our expense to allow horses, pedestrians, and service vehicles through to the pumping station and keep the morons at bay. Reminiscent of the obelisk in ‘2. Space Odyssey,’ the green cabinet in the image above looks lost and forlorn. Apart from the number 1. ![]() There, being on Burghwallis Lane nearby the ‘Dower House.’ And it arrived, plonked on the verge early last year. It should be ‘buzzing’ as the electronics bounced around inside and ultimately it should be squirting megabytes down bits of copper wire to bring a substantial upgrade in the broadband speed and reliability to Burghwallis. For this green box, or cabinet in Open. Reach speak marks the latest thrust of modern technology into the village. This box is the next terminal of fibre cable to run from the Askern exchange to a village that waits and waits. Chiron story of Ettore's comment 'You don’t win races with bad brakes' Churning noise problem solved in T40, T38. This missing link, however, remains dormant and unlinked. The Open. Reach guys have yet to switch on cabinet 1. Thus we are left struggling with broadband speeds reaching the dizzy speeds of 2mbps – as long as it’s not raining or after 4pm. As we have stated before this speed is amongst the slowest in the land and struggling to operate at what is 2. When the lights do go on we can’t expect a massive increase in broadband speed and bandwidth. The fibre will stop at cabinet 1. Some pundits have indicated an improved speed up to 4 – 6 mbps something only the quantum physics guys would notice. Then again a further rumour, possibly fueled by a magnificent burst of wishful thinking, implied that the fibre cable will be further extended Westwards along Grange Lane to another new cabinet, reducing the copper link still further.
But in the meantime the best advice would be to keep the string attached between your baked bean tins as tight as possible. The minutes from the recent parish Council meeting can be found here.

September, 2. 01. Doncaster Council has launched a consultation with residents and businesses on a proposed Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) for Doncaster town centre. The aim of the proposed PSPO is to address a number of concerns relating to begging and anti- social behaviour in the town centre. It is part of a wide- ranging programme of measures which offers support services for vulnerable people in need, whilst clamping down on those who choose to engage in anti- social behaviour. The new measures have the backing of South Yorkshire Police and are also considered vital in order to support local businesses, ensuring that people are not deterred from visiting the town centre. You can have you say – but there is not a lot of time left as the consultation runs until Tuesday 2. September 2. 01. 7. You can see the full proposal here. Many people would be intrigued at the strange layout of the parish boundary. Logic and reason seem to have fallen off the edge of the table. We would need a new BBC investigative programme similar to “Who do think you are” this time entitled “What were they thinking”. The picture shows that at the South Westerly boundary to extends along the edge of Mill Lane in Skellow taking in the Mill Pond and Skellow Mill. The pedantic of us would observe that although the logical place to plonk the stone Skellow village sign was adjacent to the Mill Pond, it is actually in Burghwallis. So there! and long before our friend Juncker has appeared to stamp his foot and point at any boundary issue. News from this outreach of the parish boundary is quite busy. Firstly the actual placing of the Skellow sign was more particularly in the middle of a little used entrance to the field behind. Really, somebody wants to get into this “hidden field”. Well yes, the owners have leased the field and of course the way in was blocked a few years ago – and no- one spotted it. But there is some good news in this oversight. By shifting the entrance a tad to the East, to avoid knocking the Skellow sign for six, a new entrance gate could be built. Document Display (PURL) | NSCEP.
