  • THE parish council has distributed stickers with the phone number of the VETs scheme which residents can call if they need a defibrillator. The ambulance service only inform callers that there are defibrillators available if they live within 250 metres of one which means that only a small proportion of the residents will be given that information. Hence the stickers which can be placed on or near your phone.
  • THE parish council previously distributed map reference stickers to every house only to find the ambulance service use postcodes and not map references.
  • FOLLOWING a visit by Glos Highways, water has stopped cascading down Queen Street, previously residents were told repairs were to be tackled on 2017.
