February Chair Letter : February is full of activity!
Dear Parishioners of Bubwith & Breighton
February may be the shortest month of the year but what it lacks in length it seems to make up for with activity!
The Parish Council continue to pursue the issues that are raised as concerns by people; contact is being made on a daily basis with EYCC regarding the bridge repair, signage and impact on local businesses and residents, similarly the state of the roads in Breighton and Bubwith with emphasis on some of the worst such as Church Street. We are now asking residents to bring additional pressure to bear through individual emailed complaints. Steve Young has been advising the email address to send to.
I attended a meeting of the Spaldington Wind Farm Community Fund Panel recently. Our community has a brilliant record of successful applications over the years including funding a youth club leader, our mini bookcase, benches, defibrillators, outdoor furniture for the school and a variety of amenities for the Leisure Centre. This year the fund will open from the 13th March to 19th May, decisions will be made on the 14th June. https://www.eastriding.gov.uk/council/grants-and-funding/spaldington-wind-farm-community-fund/
I would encourage groups to apply for either a small grant up to £500 or larger. All details on the East Riding website above.
Our Youth Club goes from strength to strength thanks to our staff and volunteers. Recently 47 members attained a certificate in First Aid. Well done Youth Club!
Bubwith Leisure and Sports Centre – Thanks to our increased volunteers there are two events coming up that I’d like to flag:
The return of Bingo to the Leisure Centre at 7pm on the 24th February which promises to be good fun with £150 jackpot too!
The Table Top Sale from 10am to 3pm on Sunday 26th February. Over 25 tables booked. A range of items including children’s clothing (various ages), sports equipment, silver jewelry, general household goods, craft yarns and much more. Teas, Coffees, Bacon Sandwiches and baked goods will be on offer and the Bar will be open and remain open for the Rugby after the event.
There are still a number of tables available at £5 per table.
Entry will be 50p at the door. A great opportunity to bag a bargain or meet for a natter! All proceeds to Community Projects.
PLEASE REMEMBER TO BRING CASH.
If you are interested in booking a table or volunteering for this or future events please drop me an email or telephone 07748965779. I will be delighted to hear from you and book you a stall.
Finally, I had an interesting chat with a senior member of our parish recently who advised me there are still a lot of people who don’t have the internet or mobile phones and who rely on the Bugle and notice boards to get their information. They feel a little disconnected from what is going on. PC discussed this at our recent meeting and will be seeking to include more information on ‘what’s on’ locally and also to have a notice board at the road end of the Leisure Centre to highlight activities.
Take care to enjoy this mild weather.
Best wishes.
Sandra Hills, Chair of Bubwith Parish Council
I’m always glad to hear of concerns and issues. .
