Barwick-In-Elmet and Scholes Parish Council Newsletter Spring 2020 Barwick in Elmet and Scholes Parish Council Newsletter – April 2020 Barwick-in-Elmet and Scholes Parish Council Newsletter Spring 2020 Within the period of the month of March 2020 everyone in the UK has had their lives disrupted and altered. While we hope that better days will return soon for us all, it is comforting to know that there is a tremendous community spirit in the parish. This edition of the newsletter focuses on matters relating to the Coronavirus lockdown. We’ve adjusted the previous layout so that we can provide relevant information to you. The first part provides information on the wonderful crisis response support groups that have risen from nothing to provide help for all parishioners. • Everyone in the UK should be staying at home, in line with the government’s announcement on 23rd March 2020. Also known as “lockdown”. It means staying at home and only going out to get essential supplies e.g. food and medicine and once a day for exercise. You can also go out for medical needs and for work if it absolutely cannot be done from home. • Social Distancing is a measure we should be taking to reduce social interaction between people in order to reduce transmission. When you are out, stay at least two metres away from people that you don’t live with. • Self-isolation is the most effective way of preventing coronavirus spreading when you have symptoms. Government advice is to self-isolate if you have any coronavirus symptoms, might have been exposed to it, or live with someone with symptoms. • Shielding is similar to self-isolating, but for longer, and is for people who are deemed extremely vulnerable due to a specific health condition. The latter part of the newsletter provides reports on Parish Council matters. Most of the regular events in the PC and the villages are now on hold due to the lockdown. Please stay safe 1 | Page © Barwick in Elmet and Scholes Parish Council - 2020 Barwick in Elmet and Scholes Parish Council Newsletter – April 2020 Introduction – notes from the Chair The UK is in a similar state to the much of the rest of the world and is responding to a pandemic of respiratory disease that is spreading from person to person. It is caused by a coronavirus – coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are common in people as well as in many different species of animals. It is not in the scope of this newsletter to provide medical advice, but your Parish Council has focused its contents on discussing and presenting some ways that might assist residents of the parish as we all do our bit to help slow down the spread of the disease. A pandemic is a global outbreak of disease – pandemics happen when a new virus emerges to infect people and spreads between people sustainably. We know that there is no pre-existing immunity against the new virus – what we, the residents of this parish, must help with is making the spread of the disease unsustainable. To this end, your Parish Council followed the Government’s guidelines; its activities have been curtailed. There hasn’t been a face to face meeting since the lock down. We have met via the Zoom app and we are devising ways to continue to use the Parish Council’s resources to benefit the community at large; this takes time as we all have our own families to support and, when the virus first struck in the UK, it was not lawful for parish council resolutions to be passed without face to face meetings, without a Quorum and without strict adherence to the regulations. Key to the functioning of your Parish Council are: - Holding statutory meetings such as monthly meetings and the annual Parish Meeting; - Audit deadlines; - Election deadlines; - Democratic decision making – what happens if we are unable to be a Quorate for an extended period? One possible way to overcome the above difficulties is to give the Clerk to the Parish Council the authority to make decisions such as make payments – your Parish Council is exploring how this can be lawfully achieved. In the meantime, it should be noted that your Parish Councillors are observing government guidelines to Stay at Home and by: • Only going outside for food, health reasons or work (but only if you cannot work from home); • Staying 2 metres (6ft) away from other people at all times; • Washing our hands as soon as we go inside; • Not meeting others, even friends or family. Anyone can spread the virus even if they don’t have symptoms. In order to make the virus unsustainable it is important to break its transmission chain. By following the Governments guidelines, we can stop the virus from being sustainable – in other words break its transmission chain. This is never more important than now as a small number of our parish’s residents are infected and we need to be vigilant and stop it being passed on to other residents. 2 | Page © Barwick in Elmet and Scholes Parish Council - 2020 Barwick in Elmet and Scholes Parish Council Newsletter – April 2020 Community Groups – support for residents by residents Residents in Scholes and Barwick have been active in setting up community groups to help residents through these difficult times. The following articles are intended to provide public services information to readers of this newsletter. Your Scholes The following is extracted from the excellent www.your-scholes.co.uk website Your Scholes is a community support group of volunteers set up to help the village through this difficult time. Its aims are to ensure that the most vulnerable members of the community can access basic resources such as food and medicine that the health and wellbeing of local people is maintained and that the people are empowered to support one another. To enable this to happen the group will work with: - Local charities to make sure people’s basic needs are met, and; - The people of Scholes to support their health and wellbeing. Your Scholes comprises local residents, Andy Nicholson – Reverend of St. Philips Church, Reverend Becki Stennett – Methodist Probationer Minister at Leeds North and East Circuit, the Scholes Community Action Group (who organise deliveries for the vulnerable from Barwick Post Office), Parish Councillor – Karen Dales, and Jon Bliss – 1st Scholes Group Scout Leader. Your Scholes is formally working with the Neighbourhood Elders Team (NET), netgarforth.org, a local charity and has joined forces with NET to help people of all ages in Scholes who are being affected by the Coronavirus crisis. Your Scholes’ important contacts Barwick Cares Barwick Cares is an informal group that links volunteers and local agencies with those in needs, especially the elderly and those at risk of the Coronavirus. Barwick Cares is working closely with NET (Neighbourhood Elders Team, ‘Your Scholes’ and local agencies). It has 55 fantastic volunteers and, so far, it has helped 15 households with check-in phone-calls, shopping, food parcel deliveries and referrals to other agencies. For help with shopping, picking up prescriptions or a friendly phone-call either use the form https://forms.gle/WWNo7dgMAknkjvfV8 or call Leslye 0113 281 2488. Clare 07886 372851 or Revd Bob 0113 260 7721. You can also email. [email protected] To volunteer: https://forms.gle/daPst2ct67vjngF58 The following article was written by one of your Parish Councillors, who intended from the outset to follow the Government’s guidelines. 3 | Page © Barwick in Elmet and Scholes Parish Council - 2020 Barwick in Elmet and Scholes Parish Council Newsletter – April 2020 Dealing with Coronavirus – a parishioner’s perspective. Like most people I was aware that Corona virus, otherwise known as COVID-19, is an air and surface-borne virus that produces a respiratory disease in people. The first case in the UK was reported on 28th February and it has spread rapidly since. In my own research, via the press and online, I noted that some people carrying the disease will experience no symptoms, or only mild symptoms (such as a dry cough, a raised temperature and a headache) and will make a full recovery within about a week. They will then not be infectious and will have some immunity to further infection. My concern was that the guidance advised that some of those infected will become very poorly, possibly finding it hard to get enough breath even to speak a sentence. These people may die if they are not admitted to hospital to receive drugs to deal with any follow-on bacterial infection and/or help to breathe while their bodies fight and kill the virus. On 24th March 2020 the UK Government introduced its Suppression strategy to minimise the load on the NHS. I’m not one of the people who have been classed by the Government as being especially vulnerable, but I’ve decided to self-isolate for the duration of the suppression period and probably beyond. I have adhered to the guidelines closely and have radically altered my own daily activities and behaviour. It was an easy decision for me to self-isolate – the hard part though is making sure that my family and friends can support me and vice versa. The safest place for me is at my home in the Parish and I have implemented my own special measures so that I avoid any opportunities for the virus to infect me. By remaining free from infection and locked down at home I remove the possibility off going on to infect between two and three other people. The information available at the beginning of March advised that if the UK’s population was allowed to go on spreading the infection at a ratio of one to three, the numbers being admitted to hospital would far exceed the NHS’s capacity to treat them.

  • Edward Caldwell Spruce (1866-1922) and the Savage Club
    From Oak Leaves, Part 9, Autumn 2009 - published by Oakwood and District Historical Society [ODHS] Edward Caldwell Spruce (1866-1922) and the Savage Club. © By Hilary Dyson Edward came from Knutsford in Cheshire originally. He was employed at a local tile factory first, where it is believed he upset his foreman by sculpting heads out of the surplus clay in his dinnertime. Possibly he was bored with his mundane job and felt there were more opportunities for his talents in Leeds. In the 19th century education for young adults was only just becoming a reality. The Leeds Mechanics and Literary Institution made tentative plans to promote education for the working classes but these were only partially successful. It was not till the Government financed the Institute in 1846 as a Government School of Design that Leeds became a centre of art education. The School of Art was Incorporated into the Mechanics Institute Building, now (2009) the City Museum. The aims for the Leeds School of Art were stated as being "to prosper instructing young men who were already engaged in art, industry or manufacturing who required more elaborate teaching than had previously been possible." In order to provide this teaching for the hundreds of masons, builders, joiners, mechanics, carvers, upholsters, cabinet makers with suitable light and space it was felt that a new building should be provided. But it was not until 1903 that the building on Vernon Street was finally built, designed by Bedford & Kitson. So when Edward first came to Leeds the opportunity to use his skills as an artist were few.

HITCH Orchella Lodge, 14 Hawthorn Close, Knodishall, Saxmundham, Suffolk 1P17 lXW .The undoubted improvement in urban air quality over the past few decades is at long last having a major impact on the lichen flora of the West Yorkshire conurbation. The adoption by lichens of the wide variety of man-made and semi-natural habitats has been much more dramatic over the past five years than noted in previous surveys (e.g. Seaward & , Henderson 1991, 1999; Seaward et al. 1994). It is clear that once the predominating factor, namely air pollution, has been largely eliminated, then the multifarious habitats afforded by urban environments in terms of substrata and microclimates will be highly conducive to lichen colonization.
