DISPOSAL OF DOG WASTE
Please could I remind dog owners of the need to dispose of waste in the correct way. There are a number of dog waste bins around the village but if you find that the bin is full, please do not leave the bags on the ground by the bin. As long as the waste is secured in a bag, it can be disposed of in any public litter bin or can be taken home and disposed of in your own wheelie bin.

Bath & North East Somerset
Council has launched a new Winter Energy Support Fund using its allocation of
government funding from the Household Support Fund.
To qualify, residents must be
aged over 18 with a permanent address in B&NES and savings of no more
than £6,000. They will also need to be in receipt of a qualifying benefit or
be on a low combined income of less than £500 per week.
Anyone in the household who
receives Disability Living Allowance, Personal Independence Payments, or
Attendance Allowance will qualify for an extra £100 in addition to the £150
standard payment.
The council may also consider applications from residents who are
in financial crisis due to circumstances beyond their control.
Applications can be made here
and will be assessed in order of receipt. People can also request a paper copy or complete it over the phone by calling
the Benefits Team on 01225 477277 (option 1). The number of awards
that can be made are limited.
Councillor Mark Elliott, cabinet
member for Resources, said: “We know that many households continue to
struggle to pay energy bills and want to make sure that families are
supported through these harsh winter months. I don’t want to see any
residents go cold this winter. If you think you qualify for this vital help,
please apply to us as soon as possible.”
