Supporting elderly and vulnerable customers:
Dear All, I am aware that currently there is much information available to you both locally from the County Council and the District Council as well as nationally, on TV, Radio etc. There are many emails and village newsletters being circulated, too! However, please find attached two separate documents drawing together information that you may find useful for you.
Please do take care and keep safe. Best wishes, Judy Guidance for Volunteers Parish Vale I have received reports of more instances of people donating their dog poo bags to the village, they hang in trees and in the hedges. If it’s your bag, it’s your dog please take them both home.
Richard May With us all being incarcerated at home there is time to clear the garden. And inevitably the brown bin is too small for all but the smallest garden.
If you need to have a bonfire please ensure that everything has dried out, only light it in the early evening, and only if the wind carries the smoke away from houses. Check that the bonfire cannot spread and will not cause the Fire Service to be called out. Please spare a thought for those neighbours who may be suffering from respiratory conditions. Richard May Firstly, I would like to thank all the volunteers who have come forward to help support the village through COVID 19. It has made me realise Great Coxwell is such a caring village.
Also, a big thank you to Pauline and Mike Durham, and Lauren Gilmour and Peter Gale who have put a tremendous amount of work in to get the support system underway. You Are Not Alone/ Daffodil Card - Every household should now have received their You Are Not Alone/Daffodil Card. (Cards were delivered by hand by Pauline and Mike over the weekend) This should be kept near a prominent window, but only displayed should normal communications with designated volunteers fail. Volunteer Support Card – All households should receive a Volunteer Card through the door in the next few days. This will give details of the Volunteer allocated to keep any eye on your house and be your point of contact should you require help, necessary supplies or a medical prescription collected. You may already have a relative, neighbour or friend assisting you and we do not wish to interfere with this. If this is the case, keep the Volunteers information as back up should your normal support network be unavailable. Prescriptions – I am currently working with the White Horse Medical Centre at Faringdon and the Elm Surgery at Shrivenham to organise centralised pickups. Once this is in place, I will let everyone know how arrangements will work through the Newsletter and your Volunteer. Best wishes everyone and stay safe. Mandy Stay at Home, Protect the NHS, Save Lives. (Mandy Burns 01367 240142) Dear all,
As you are aware many of you in the Community of the Faringdon Division have benefitted over the last few years from the County Councillor’s Priority Fund of an annual budgeted amount of £15,000 per County Councillor. This year the amount was once again in the Council’s budget and we have been advised that we are able to use our councillor priority fund for community support activities related to Covid. Officers will be working hard to expedite applications as councillors send them in and it is recognised that small pots of money can go a long way. However, the process for handling applications is currently being updated as the administration for applications will require to be different this year. Once I have the information I will of course contact you again. Judy Jane will have tomato plants for sale in May (in aid of St Giles) as well as some courgettes and beans and other plants.
Please get your order in by phoning Jane on 241367 or email sylvia.athawes@btinternet.com. Residents have been warned to be on their guard against criminals and scammers exploiting the coronavirus situation.
In Oxfordshire, County Council’s Trading Standards has received reports of scams targeting people via emails, text messages, and on the doorstep. Full details and advice from our Trading Standards team here: https://news.oxfordshire.gov.uk/oxfordshire-residents-warned-against-coronavirus-scams/ |
