Village Maintenance Day
This month:
Scout Hut area
Meet outside the
village hall
at 10.30am (max 2 hrs)
Subject to approval, the team will be tackling the area around the scout hut in Eastsands. Afterwards, volunteers can enjoy a cold (or hot!) drink in the Burbage & Easton Royal British Legion Club.
We would like some volunteers to help us please! Village Maintenance Days are now a regular event, happening on the third Saturday of every month and each with a different theme. You don’t have to attend every one of the events.
Litter Picking
With enough people involved, we are able to carry out litter picking on the same day, to keep our village, your home, looking great! Children are welcome to come along and assist with litter picking, as some of the main tasks are not suitable for children.
All volunteers are covered by our insurance. If you want to bring powered machinery along, please contact one of the team first.

The Burbage Parish Council
Village Maintenance Team
are looking for volunteers to join
the
Street Warden
scheme
Being a Street Warden is a voluntary post which can be held for as long as you like
-
And that’s all there is to it!
Ideally the team would like at least one volunteer from every road. Longer roads
would benefit from having more than one Street Warden as well as other off-
Street Wardens are NOT expected to tackle maintenance repairs or social/domestic issues. The role is intended to be purely observation and liaison with the PCVMT. If the role develops from there, any additional activity/ies will only be by mutual agreement.
If you are interested in becoming a Street Warden, email the team at:
Or telephone any member of the team:
Keith: 811 350
Colin: 810 518
Gavin: 811 990
Tony: 810 641
They will contact you during July to discuss the scheme and give you all the information needed. Street Wardens can choose to cover any area(s) of the village, including footpaths and open areas.
Village Maintenance Day
is on
Saturday 21st August 2010
Theme:
Westcourt Pond
(subject to approval)
and litter pick!

RUBBISH COLLECTIONS & RECYCLING
ARE YOU AWARE the council are doing a waste collection and recycling survey? The aim is to harmonise the four different collections throughout Wiltshire.
There is an online survey (or paper version in the library) to vote for or against
the new proposals. For those of us who live in the former Kennet District, it really
is a win, win, win situation.
• Regular household rubbish (fortnightly collection,
so no change)
• Recycling – black box (alternative week, so no change)
• Kerbside collection
of plastic bottles and cardboard (Save all that loading car and taking to car park
or tip)
• Non chargeable kerbside collection of garden waste every 2 weeks (FREE instead
of £26 {?} fee at present)
So do your bit and vote (before 20th August) and pass the message on to your local friends.
