Young Work Wiltshire: A new service has been launched that aims to support 16 & 17 year old’s who are not in education, employment or training.

/in , /by
Work Wiltshire logo

Three dedicated Education, Employment Advisers will be getting alongside our young people to help them access opportunities to help them towards successful working lives. These young people may face multiple barriers preventing them from participating in EET and need a different type of support. For some young people support is provided by other Local Authority Teams, specifically the SEND service for young people with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and those working with the Youth Offending Team (YOT).  

Supporting documentation can be downloaded from this post

 

Young Work Wiltshire can provide one-to-one support for young people who need help to find the right opportunity for them. This currently provided over the phone and online, but eventually we hope to do some face to face/outreach support.  

This support includes: 

·         Engaging a young person in understanding the provision available 

·         Finding and applying for a suitable education or training course 

·         Finding and applying for an apprenticeship 

·         Support in transitioning to the new opportunity

·         Tracking & reducing the young people without a known post 16 destination.

 

For more information or to refer to the service you can contact us by:

Phone: 01225 716890

Email: ku.vo1776565051g.eri1776565051hstli1776565051w@stl1776565051iwkro1776565051w1776565051

Notes regarding July 2020 Parish Council Meeting

/in , /by
illustration of a meeting

Despite the recent relaxation of the Lockdown Recommendations, including the opening of community and village halls, the Parish Council is still unable to hold public meetings whilst the Government’s restrictions on social distancing and meeting of groups of people indoors remain in place.

As a result, the meeting due to be held on Wednesday, July 1st will now not take place.

The Parish Council is investigating the various virtual conference platforms that are available, to enable a virtual meeting to take place at some point during July.

In the meantime, the Parish Council continues to operate with all functions being carried out remotely and via social distancing.

Please continue to use the Contact Us page on the website to inform the Parish Council of any issues or to seek our advice.

We will update the website and noticeboards with further information when it becomes available, so do please keep checking back regularly.

Household recycling centres to reopen with postcode entry system

/in /by
Wiltshire Council logo

All of Wiltshire’s household recycling centres (HRCs), bar Stanton St Quintin, will reopen on Monday 18 May with an easy to use postcode entry system to help limit the number of people on-site at any time and ensure social distancing.

Stanton St Quintin HRC will remain closed because parking spaces on-site have been significantly reduced and because of the already difficult traffic management issues at the site. This will be kept under review and in the meantime, people should use the Purton, Melksham or Lower Compton sites.

People should only visit HRCs on the days that correspond to the first part of their postcode. For example, if your postcode starts in BA12, you can only visit the sites on Monday 18 May, Wednesday 20 May etc – see table below.

You can visit any Wiltshire site you choose, so while you are limited by the days you can attend, you can attend any Wiltshire household recycling centre on these days – though please be sure to check the latest opening times before you set off, as many sites will need to operate very differently to previous arrangements. You may be asked to provide proof of address in order to use the household recycling centre, so please bring it with you.

To keep staff and residents safe, there are a significant number of changes in place to ensure social distancing can be maintained at all HRCs, including:

  • Visitors must keep at least two metres from others at all times.
  • One person per car.
  • No entry for trailers or large vans over 3.5 tonnes.
  • Vehicles allowed on-site on a ‘one in, one out’ basis.
  • No pedestrian access.
  • HRCs cannot accept soil, rubble, plasterboard, textiles or asbestos during this initial reopening phase.
  • Don’t bring recyclable materials that can be collected through the council’s kerbside recycling collection service.
  • See attached file for Post Code dates

Winterslow Village Hall Tennis Court – Announcement May 2020

/in /by
Tennis Ball

The most recent Government guidance for England has relaxed measures related to the playing of tennis. On a clarification of this advice,

the Village Hall Executive Committee and the Tennis sub-
Committee has agreed to re-open the Hall Tennis court with effect from Wednesday 13th May.

The Government has laid down certain restrictions, which if breached, will lead to penalties ranging from
a starting point of £100, rising to a maximum of £3600. Therefore, all players must agree to, and adhere
to, strict rules of play which are as follows:
Singles can only be played between members of the same household (living together not
visiting) or between two individuals from different households. If from different households,
please maintain a safe distance and use opposite sides of the tennis court when changing ends.
Doubles can only be played providing all are members of the same household.
A disinfection regime will be in place and must be followed for padlock, gate handle, net handles,
net measuring point and distancing must be responsibly applied.
The use of the court will be restricted to Members of the Club only.
Non-members wishing to play will need to contact Sandra Cassells on 01980 862785 or email
sandycassells@btinternet.
The previous open booking and key arrangement remains suspended and will not be available
unless the Government removes all remaining restrictions.
All players will be required to confirm, in writing, their acceptance and understanding of the rules,
their adherence to them, and their agreement to accept any fines imposed by authorised official
bodies (e.g. Police) in the event of personal non-compliance or deliberate breach of these
conditions.
The Village Hall committees reserve the right to reclose the court in the event of a reversal or change in
Government policy, or in the event of any persistent breach of the rules.
We are pleased these limited relaxations will enable vital exercise and enjoyment of Tennis to resume.
Please do ensure rules are followed.
