Parish Council Community Update
There has been lots going on recently, and the Parish Council would like to offer an update to you all regarding a few things which have been happening in the village.
The Parish Council recently engaged with the Anglian Water Strategic Pipeline alliance group who offered volunteers, advice and seeds for wildflower planting at various locations around the village. We are very much looking forward to enjoying the bright colours and wildlife that these flowers will attract moving into Springtime of next year. Areas for planting included:
The area surrounding the base of the village sign at the newly named Crown Garden
Fernie Close park
The community allotment (Peterborough Road)
The raised beds at the rear of the cemetery.
Thank you to all involved!!
New gates have just been installed at the entry way to Fernie Close Park which look very smart and also offer increased security.
The Parish Council have now erected their annual Christmas tree at Crown Garden for all the community to enjoy.
The local school, pre-school, WI and GNS volunteer group will be making some laminated tree decorations to add to the tree for some personal festive touches. If you would like to get involved, please contact Irene the Clerk for further information.
Keeping warm and Safe
A webinar for unpaid carers around saving energy and money this winter
Thursday 12 January 2023 10.00 – 11.30am on zoom
With the expected further increase in energy prices in April 2023, we know that the rising cost of gas and
electricity is a real worry for many unpaid carers.
National Energy Action is the national fuel poverty charity in England, Wales and Scotland providing support for householders across the UK to better understand and manage their energy and water accounts.
They are going to be running a webinar to help carers understand the various help they may be entitled to and how to access it. It will explore the links between warmth and health, and give advice on how to save
energy and money this winter. There will be a Q&A session to give further, detailed information and lots of information on further services.
