WWARBSTOWARBSTOW && DDISTRICTISTRICT NNEWSEWS 89TH ED. NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2020 REMEMBRANCE EDITION Editorial. We, in our small piece of heaven, have a lot to be grateful for. Covid 19 has touched our village but so far without lasting effect. Long may it continue but it will only remain at arms length if we stay vigilant. I was appalled on a recent trip to the supermarket to discover people acting as if it was all over with couples going round together, people not social distancing or reaching across people to get to shelves etc. The situation in Cornwall is far from over as we are now feeling the effects of a second wave. Increased awareness in bio security must be maintained if we wish to stay safe. Marian Haynes kindly updated her home delivery information on page 18. Due to Covid 19 restrictions there will not be a Remembrance Service on Sunday 8th November. To find out our alternative suggestions please check page 20. Also due to Covid19 restrictions there is a change to the access to the Defibrillator on the front of the Community Centre. Please see page 25. Please note the next Terracycle collection details on page 27. We will be collecting for St Petrocs again this year with our Christmas Wishes magazine, details are on page 23. It would be great if we could beat last year’s sum of £215.00. Adam has written a piece on how we should all consider using less of the planets dwindling resources, details on page 29. The Parish Council minutes and Lynette’s report are on pages 4 and 10. Ray Haynes has written a short piece about the the Warbstow Hub’s Facebook page on page 33, please check it out. Lastly but never leastly?? Martin Hurndall was moved to write on page 35 about his reflections on Thelma’s piece about the old Bude Cinema. Stay safe, wear a mask and wash your hands.

The school will now lock the gates attached to the school and the Community Hall. The main car park gate at the front of the Community Centre will remain open also the gate at Bury Close will be open out of school hours so the cycle track is still available to the community. Remember there are two defibrillators in Warbstow one in the Telephone box and one outside the Community Centre. Vacancies - Warbstow Parish Council has an opening for two new Councillors. If you are interested or want to know more about becoming a Councillor for your Parish, please contact me on 01566 781806 or Jan Carter (Vice Chair) 07443 615332 email [email protected] - Closing Date Friday 27th November 2020 Parish Meeting – A Parish Meeting was held on the 6th October minutes are available in this issue of the Warbstow News, on the Notice Boards and on the Parish Website www.warbstow.org Yellow lines – The school are proposing to install yellow zigzag lines outside the school, this is for the safety of the children, staff and parents entering and exiting the school. The gates open directly onto the road and when cars are parked beside the school everyone has to move between the cars and into the middle of the road. Cones are being placed at the front of the school during school hours and this has improved the situation with a clear view of the road and cars slowing down. I have spoken to the immediate neighbours but if you have any concerns that you feel the Parish Council should know about please do not hesitate to contact a Councillor, myself or email [email protected] Remembrance Day – It goes without saying that all things are vastly different this year. Due to the `Rule of 6`and other rules and regulations the Parish Council will be placing their wreath on the war memorial unfortunately without any congregation. Cont….
