Ian Miller, acting editor of the Glenside News, has informed us that Peter Cox will be interviewed live on the BBC’s Crimewatch Roadshow regarding the arson attack last month on his home in Castle Bytham. The programme will be broadcast on BBC1 on Monday 13 June between 9.00am and 10.00am. Hopefully the programme will jog a few memories, help the police in their investigations and allow Peter and his wife Sylvia’s life to return to normal. Even if you can’t watch the programme at the broadcast time why not record it and watch it later – it might be your memory that is jogged.
Volunteers are needed for a new group of life savers setting up in our local villages.

Peter and Sylvia Cox have told BBC News that they are “devastated and baffled” by the firebomb attack on their house, in Castle Bytham, last week and could not understand why anyone would want to hurt them. Peter said: “Police have been talking to us about this and everything we could possibly have thought of we’ve told them – but we’ve not really thought of anything which is specific.”

After a major refurbishment over the last few weeks Mrs Bees shop, in Little Bytham, is about to re-open with a new name – “The No. 10 Store“. To mark the occasion Meg Overend, the new owner, has arranged an Opening Party between 4.00pm and 7.00pm on Saturday 14 May 2011.
Meg says that the party has been arranged “especially for the local community so they can have a look around and get a sneak peek at their shop before it opens properly on the Sunday”. As an encouragement champagne and cup-cakes, made by the new Coffee Shop which opens in Castle Bytham Village Hall on the previous Wednesday, have been ordered but you might need to get there early before they run out!
We hope to have more information and some pictures of the redevelopment work which has taken place on theBythams website this week but, in the meantime, for further details Meg can be contacted on 410005 or via email at meg@theno10store.co.uk.
