About Us

7,000 copies are printed once every two months and over 5,000 are distributed by our band of volunteers to most of the houses in Thurmaston, Barkby and Barkby Thorpe. Remaining copies are left in pubs, clubs, leisure centres, shops (including Thurmaston Shopping Centre), schools and doctors surgeries in Thurmaston, Barkby and Syston. The Times is edited by Bijal Bhagwan who will endeavour to make every page interesting to the reader and she is grateful to the contributions made by the village groups and organisations who keep us all up to date with their news.
