Numbers at Parish Council Meeting
We understand the frustration at the Council decision to restrict numbers at the last meeting of the Parish Council. We have listened to your complaints and therefore there will no restriction on numbers for the meeting scheduled for Wednesday 20th October. The meeting will still take place in the Bartram Centre, as the venue allows the opening of doors and windows for air circulation. Members of the Council will still keep a metre distance, but anyone who wishes to attend is welcome to do so.

Paid Election Volunteers Needed
Local authorities are looking for paid volunteers to work at polling stations or counts for the elections which are taking place between 6 May – 10 May. Safe and secure polls are the cornerstone of our democracy and this is a great opportunity to support local elections teams to deliver COVID-secure and effective elections.
Wildflower planting at Stanley Recreation Ground
The Stanley Wildflower Group managed to get a session of planting in on 3 November 2020 before the second Covid lockdown ensued. Social distancing measures were, of course, in effect.
The group planted over 500 native wildflower bulbs, 46 established wildflower plants and scattered some wildflower Classic Meadow Mix seeds on prepared patches within the Wildflower area. Having also been given some non-native bulbs these have been planted out just outside the established wildflower area.
Our thanks to the Planters and Givers of bulbs and seed packets to achieve the above. These were Karen S, Velma H plus helpers Isla and Ada, Susan S, Simon H, Sue G, Malcolm H, Sara S, June H, Paul and Pat C, Ant B and Jack, Ann B, and Karen T. We now wait for their efforts to show from early next year and then throughout the year.
There are seed packets of mixed wild flowers left over and these are offered to anybody who will plant out a tray(s) for us for next year’s Spring planting of established plants and “bulbs in the green”.
