Parish Magazine June 2020 JUNE 2020 Church Street, mid-19th Century The circled cottages stood on the site of our present Village Hall. They were demolished after July 1878 – their owner, Squire Walter Hume Long of Rood Ashton, having given permission by deed for the land to be used to erect the original hall. This opened in September 1899, and was refurbished in 1975. It is temporarily closed due to Covid-19 restrictions. An important update on the future of our Village Hall is inside this issue. Opening Hours - please see page 8 for the new shop opening hours during this difficult time.

Lots of people have put pen to paper which is really good. Not so good is the number of people in the village with the virus - we hope that you will all make a good recovery. Remember also that you can read this newsletter in full colour on the village website - www.steeple-ashton.co.uk Hope you are all safe and well. Helen. Here in Steeple Ashton many villagers have been busy sewing handmade face coverings for this and surrounding villages. Some have also been super productive in making scrubs and bags for a national ScrubHub initiative supplying the NHS, care homes and surgeries locally. In line with the government moving to the easing of lockdown, they now advise the public to “consider wearing a face covering in public spaces where social distancing is not always possible and you come into contact with other people that you do not normally meet”. We have handmade face coverings in many colours and patterns available in The Village Shop and at The Old Rose & Crown on the village green in exchange for a £ donation that will be given to the NHS. These are all individually bagged and come with helpful hints and washing instructions. If you would like one but are isolating please arrange for a friend or neighbour to collect one or call Bev Bagnall on 871893. We hope you will be pleased with your lovingly handmade face covering. Bev Bagnall 3 STEEPLE ASHTON PARISH COUNCIL Annual Parish Meeting 2020 Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the Parish Council was unable to hold the Annual Parish Meeting in May. This is always a popular and well attended meeting and as soon as the lockdown restrictions are eased sufficiently, the meeting will be re-arranged. In the meantime, if any local groups or organisations have any reports or updates they wish to circulate please send them to the Parish Clerk who will arrange for these to be issued. The Parish Council will advise parishioners of the new date for the Annual Parish Meeting as soon as it can. Reporting Highway or Environmental Issues Any member of the public is able to report highway or environmental issues direct to Wiltshire Council or the environment agency. Problems with potholes, pavements, fly tipping, abandoned vehicles, street lighting, overgrown hedges and trees and other issues can be reported directly via the MyWiltshire app - http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/mywiltshire-online- reporting. Guidance on ways to report environmental issues to the Environment Agency can be found at https://www.gov.uk/report-an- environmental-incident. Grass cutting of verges Wiltshire Council has ordered its contractor to cease verge cutting during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is due to the fact that only skeleton crews are in operation. The Parish Council is informed that verge cutting will recommence as soon as the lockdown restrictions permit. The Parish Council contractor is carrying out his tasks as normal during this time. Please let the Parish Clerk know if there any issues with the open spaces or recreation areas. Road re- allocations – information from Wiltshire Council Following the announcement of the Covid-19 lockdown by Government in late March, many more people have been walking and cycling for exercise purposes or to access essential services. Because of the reduction in traffic, people have largely been able to do this in a safe manner. However, as the Covid-19 lockdown is eased, increased levels of traffic will make it more difficult for pedestrians and cyclists to safely achieve the 2m social distancing requirement and to travel and exercise safely. The importance of this is heightened by the Government advice for people to avoid using public transport where possible and to instead walk, cycle, or drive. The Department for Transport (DfT) has issued new statutory guidance which 4 enables local authorities to make significant changes to their road layouts to give more space to cyclists and pedestrians. The guidance states that local authorities where public transport use is low should be considering all possible measures and that these measures should be taken as swiftly as possible, and in any event within weeks. In response, the Council has formed multi-disciplinary teams of Officers for each community area and who have initially been asked to identify potential sites and measures using their local and technical knowledge. Wiltshire Council has informed the Parish Council of this project and its views have been sought as to any road re-allocations it thinks may be beneficial to Steeple Ashton. Members of the public are invited to submit any suggestions or comments to the Parish Clerk.
