The Government has recently ruled that local councils in England must resume holding their meetings on a face to face basis from 7th May onwards. This means that we cannot hold our May meeting using Zoom as we had originally planned and the meeting will therefore need to be held “face to face”.
However, because the next stage of relaxing the Covid restrictions do not come into force until the 17th May, and with the safety and wellbeing of councillors and public alike, we are moving our meeting to the week following the relaxation of restrictions.
Consequently, the May Parish Council Meeting will be held in the village hall on Monday 24th May at 7.30 pm.

Gloucestershire County Council recycling centres are currently experiencing high levels of demand. To help meet the increased demand, summer opening hours will come into effect from Sunday 21st March instead of Sunday 28th March. They will be open from 9am to 5pm, instead of the shorter winter hours of 10am to 4pm.
Visitors to all household recycling centres need to pre-book their visit. Social distancing is required on site and to minimise queues and waiting times the number of booking slots available is limited. Residents are asked to please keep to their appointment times to help to reduce queues.
Those with symptoms of COVID-19 or who are self-isolating must not visit and should stay at home, following the most up to date government and NHS advice.

You may be aware that in 2020, GCC Highways launched their “Ash Dieback” project to start to tackle the effects of the disease within the county. Ash Dieback damages tree’s limbs and causes them to become unsafe, which can lead to the death of a tree.
Since June 2020, GCC Highways has managed to remove 2,400 infected Ash Trees which posed a danger to highway users. They are now moving into their replanting phase and are encouraging local parish councils to identify suitable areas for replanting and for parish councils to make appropriate replanting applications to GCC Highways.
We would therefore ask that if anyone living in the Parish has had to have tree felling carried out due to Ash Dieback, please let us know by contacting any Councillor, or the Clerk directly, and we will be happy to submit a replanting request. Planting will take place in February amd March. Please note that the deadline for us to submit applications is January 29th 2021. Relevant contact details can be found here.
Just a quick reminder that this weeks refuse and recycling collection with be on Wednesday 13th and not Tuesday 12th. Normal collection dates return next week.
