Giving funds to the Church

by
Due to legal advice and guidance the Parish Council will no longer be able to fund the maintenance of the Burial Ground in Bosbury or donate to the upkeep of the Community Area in Coddington until such a time as the matter is resolved by Central Government.
 
The PC long believed it owned the Burial Ground but has recently found out this is not the case.
 
They sincerely hope that the law can be clarified as soon as possible so that a way forward can be found.
 
Please see the attached guidance received from NALC on this ruling by way of explanation.
 
The Parish Council appreciate that this is disappointing news but hope you understand that they are bound in law by what it can and cannot fund.

This will be informed by local priorities and developed in partnership with key stakeholders. As part of this process, we would like to hear from local residents to understand their habits in relation to physical activity, exercise and sport. We would really appreciate it if you could fill in the survey found here: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/HerefordresPA

Coronavirus update

by

Dear All,

As you maybe aware Herefordshire Council have been developing a Talk Community Covid Response where they are sending every household in Herefordshire (88k) a letter focussed on the vulnerable people and the support they will need outside of their existing network. They have a central coordination centre with a dedicated telephone line for vulnerable people and volunteers to contact us and they will then link them back into the community organisations. There is already some fantastic community responses happening and the council can support the infrastructure through this response and provide community resilience.

Many of the wards and parishes have provided them with information of the community work being undertaken however there are some areas where they have little information, please do forward the team any community information on the email address below with the key coordinator.

The areas of support that will be coordinated are:

Shopping
Urgent supplies
Picking up meds (DBS check needed)
Pet walking
Calling vulnerable people during this difficult time

People wishing to volunteer can register and vulnerable people needing support can register on the following link: https://www.herefordshire.gov.uk/covid19help, the dedicated telephone number will be fully live from Tuesday 24th March which is 01432 260027 and email address talkcommunitycovidresponse@herefordshire.gov.uk.
