The Cat and Fiddle Windmill, which is situated just outside Ilkeston, has been without it's sails for far too long. Following my recent inquiries I have learnt that the reason given by the owner for the sail shortage is that he can't source suitable pieces of wood for the sail arms.

It's high time that Erewash started helping the owner to get this Mill back to it's former glory as a lovely local landmark. At the moment it is more symbolic of the way Erewash Council drifts and slides along, more interested with it's own internal affairs than it's external effects.
I am hoping action can be taken on the Windmill as soon as practicable. If anyone wants to see how a piece of heritage can be a community asset and a tourist magnet take a look on the Web at http://www.jillwindmill.org.uk/
