Time to minimise calls on Council staff time

Although we will continue to report routine issues with local public services over the next few weeks, we don’t expect some to have any priority for the use of resources if the CV virus debilitates the Councils workforce.

Clearly the most important services are those that maintain the safety of the local community.

We’d like to see the Council appoint local coordinators so that the vulnerable have someone to turn to. We recognise that valuable resources like the local “hubs” will have to close but they need to be replaced with technology based alternatives. We look forward to hearing more about the Council’s plans

The Friday Hub at the Foxwood Community Centre has already been suspended.

Local residents groups and Councillors are actively supporting residents.

Hopefully those who are responsible for the graffiti that blights the neighbourhood, those who drop litter and those who allow their dogs to foul footpaths will now change their ways.

NB. The Great British Spring Clean – which relied on volunteer litter pickers – has been postponed until the Autumn.

Foxwood Hub tomorrow starts at 12:00 noon

Defibrillator

The weekly “hub” at the Foxwood Community centre is starting again tomorrow (Friday) at 12:00 noon.

All are welcome.

There will be a handicrafts sessions with organisers asking participants to “bring light hammer with them”!

Also at the Foxwood Community centre, a new defibrillator has been fitted to the outside wall.
