Published 11 December 2022
The Council is aware that some residents might be finding or will find the coming months challenging in terms of the increasing cost of living and the necessity to keep warm and feed. In an effort to help, the council is currently making plans with other organisations to offer some relief where it can.
Today we are looking for volunteers to act as eyes and ears in our streets for those
who may be lonely, old, or simply frightened by the variety of problems we might have
to face. However, the council needs the help of volunteers.
If you could help, please email this information to the Parish Council lead on this
