THANKS &
WELL DONE to the volunteer TEAM
who cleared the Brook at the weekend.
If anyone would like to help themselves to any of the 'ranunculus weed' which is by the roadside - please do help yourselves. It makes an excellent manure and mulch for your plants.

SEPSIS
Sepsis is life threatening. It can be hard to spot. It is a life-threatening reaction to an infection. It happens when your immune system overreacts to an infection and starts to damage your body's own tissues and organs.

Dogs, Dogwalkers & Gamebirds
Many of you will have noticed the young game birds on some of the footpaths you regularly walk, and whilst most dog owners are very good at keeping their canine companions under control, there is a natural instinct in many to chase, catch and sadly kill. This is not good for your dog or the gamekeeper, Steve. Please can walkers keep to the footpaths (Walking route 6A in the Local Walks booklet HERE) and keep your dogs under control, thank you.

Bonfires
Whilst we are all aware of our rural setting and that bonfires are part of country life, respiratory illness in all generations is a growing trend, with bonfires causing exacerbation in diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructed airways.
Please could we ask that if you’re considering having a bonfire, you resist lighting it until after dusk when most residents will have closed windows and doors.
Your kind cooperation would be gratefully appreciated.
