Parish Council Survey – let’s try this again…

Parish Council Survey – let’s try this again…

By Peter Foster Comment Closed
Hello everyone - we are going to have another go at this post because it seems the link we had in directing to the survey wasn't working for some people: so apologies in advance that you are getting this all over again :-) Your Parish Council is very keen that you have a say over the small amount of money they have to spend on the village in the coming year, and rather than decide themselves they have opened this up to a little local consultation on what you feel these public funds should be paying for in and around the village. Thank you to the 45 people who have already contributed but they would very much like even more participation. Whatever you decide they will action ... so have your say today with this 2-3 minute survey on some things already proposed or suggested. If you don't have a say there's no complaining allowed afterwards if you disagree :-)...

New life-saving app

By Parish Clerk Comment Closed
A new potentially life-saving app can tell emergency services the precise location they need to go to when someone needs assistance and Thames Valley Police is encouraging everybody to install it on their smartphones. What3words divides the entire globe into 57 trillion 3m x 3m squares – if someone needs assistance it will then provide a specific three-word code for where they are, making it a lot easier for the emergency services to find someone in a rural area or unfamiliar location.  The app, which is used by emergency services across the country, is free and doesn’t require an internet connection to use – for more information please see the what3words website ...
