  • East Ilsley Communicator Est
    EAST ILSLEY COMMUNICATOR EST. 2003 WELCOME to the March Edition of the EIC- Issue 99 Matthew. Pembroke - Editor Telephone: - 01635 280565 Mobile:- 07729277191 Email: [email protected] East Ilsley Parish Council - Tales from your Parish Clerk – Issue 99 Welcome to this first edition of the EIC for 2020! Christmas and New Year seem so long ago now and we have had to contend with everything the weather has thrown at us in the past couple of months. From weather bombs, to two storms in a row, we really have been batted about this year already. After watching the news reports on the devastation that some towns and villages across the country have endured from the recent Storms, we are thankful that our village has not been faced with those challenges and our recent yet mild clean-up efforts have withstood the heavy rainfall. However, this is not a time to rest on our laurels, but it is a time for action! We continue to monitor the water levels in the pond and are working with WBC and other external companies to help us improve the way the pond works for us in extreme weather. If anyone has wandered past the allotments recently you may have noticed a new addition in the form of a small shipping container. This will house our emergency flood defence equipment which is being ordered in April 2020 and it is thanks to WBC and Cllr. Culver who are part funding this for us. Should we find ourselves as we did in 2014, we will at least be able to respond with immediate support to our community until the larger services can take over.
