The official newsletter of Cold Ashby Parish Council, Countrylife, was available here but, regrettably, appears to have ceased publication since the retirement of the previous chairman. At present (May 2018) you can still access some back issues at the above link.

21 March 2018Residents Advised to Watch Their (Telephone) Box!
The Rambler has just received a timely warning from Cold Ashby Parish Council.
The Community Heartbeat Trust have informed the council that gangs of thieves have been attempting to remove telephone boxes from village sites in Leicestershire and Rutland.
They apparently make false claims to be employed by BT, wear hi-vis jackets and use a pneumatic drill.
Cold Ashby’s box, containing a yet-to-be-activated defibrillator, is no longer owned by BT but has been purchased and renovated by our Parish Council.
This could make it a target for these thieves so we’d best keep our eyes (and ears) open and report any such suspicious activity to the police.
