EMERGENCY PLAN
The District and County Councils are encouraging local communities
to develop their own Emergency Plans. This has arisen from the
flooding last year when it was discovered that communities cut off
from outside help, often have the wherewithal to help themselves for
a period of time until services arrive. The contacts for these
resources are often kept in ‘someone’s head’ and need to be
formalised to be effective. A Plan should also cover any type of
emergency besides flooding.
If you have skills and experience that would be useful to such a
Plan and wish to be involved, please contact:
Caroline (01451 861499) or
clerk@northleach.gov.uk .
It could be that you have organisational skills to help put a Plan
together or practical skills that could be called upon in an
emergency. We anticipate this to be a short term project that will
call on people only when required and, therefore, not take up a lot
of time.
MOBILE SKATE RAMP
The Youth Service is bringing the Mobile ramp to Northleach –
Wednesday, 23 and 30 July and 6 and 13 August form 1.30 – 3.30 pm
RESIDENTS WITH PROPERTIES BORDERING THE RIVER
Are reminded that we need to work together to alleviate further
flooding in the Town. If you wish to build a bridge over the river
PLEASE contact the Town Council with your proposal first. If
you impede the flow of the river, your bridge can be removed !
New Waste Collection Service
The current free fortnightly collection of garden waste will stop
when the new waste service is introduced across the District from 21st
April. Anyone who has not yet indicated that they want to pay for
the garden waste service can still do so by visiting
www.cotswold.gov.uk/go/wastesurvey or by calling the Council’s
waste hotline on 01285 623123.
