Please note that the Kendal Voluntary Social Car Scheme Co-ordinator has handed in her notice and the scheme will close from Sunday until we can find a replacement. See www.cumbria.gov.uk/voluntarycarscheme  Power outage compensation About 70 houses in Levens had a power outage on Friday 31 May - lasting from midday for about 15 hours. If this affected residents they can submit an outage claim on the Electricity North West website (enwl.co.uk) - it only takes about 5 minutes - and they send you £75. This is not dependant on frozen food or anything else - it is a govt scheme - plus it will focus ENWL to invest in (Levens) infrastructure - they made £100 million profit last year - yet the power failed as the lines have not been maintained!

The website is easy to edit, training is available, and you’d be part of a team that work together. If you can help, we would be delighted to hear from you ! Please contact Allan, Claire, Clare, Elaine and Graham at website@levens.org.uk.  from Levens Local History Group:
Ague or marsh fever (vivax malaria) is a disease transmitted by female blood sucking mosquitoes that breed in shallow stagnant water. During the 16th to 19th centuries it was endemic in the English fenlands and the coastal marshes of Kent and Essex. However, the history of the disease in many parts of Britain, especially the north, is poorly researched and incompletely understood. This book draws together a highly dispersed literature to present a picture of the history, past distribution and importance of ‘the ague’ in northern Britain, with a particular focus on Cumbria. The book concludes by examining the possibility of malaria re-establishing its former presence in Cumbria and the north as a result of climate warming and other factors. Available from Stephen Read - email: levenshistory@btinternet.com Price £8.50 (£7.50 to members of LLHG or CWAAS)  The recent pottery and art sales organised by Nigel & Libby Edmundson at Quaggs House Farm and Heversham raised £475 for Children in Need, and Nigel & Libby would like to thank all who supported these events. Well done, Nigel & Libby ! Monday 7 December 2015 for 8 nights (20:00 - 06:00)
