CARONAVIRUS HELP

Warcop Parish Council, Sandford & Warcop WI and the two churches are working together to offer help and support for any local resident who is vulnerable or in self-isolation during the Coronavirus pandemic. Leaflets with contact numbers will be distributed to all households so that anyone who needs help with shopping, prescriptions, emergencies or just general support and reassurance can phone someone and obtain the help they need.

Halloween Dance with Covernote Cancelled – Saturday 19th October

Unfortunately, the planned Halloween dance and supper on Saturday 19th October has had to be cancelled because of low ticket sales. We hope that another similar dance will be scheduled some time in the New Year.

We’re sorry about this as it is always a great night with excellent music, lovely food and good company.

4th Defibrillator for the Parish

The Parish Council recently decided to use some of its funds to purchase a fourth defibrillator to extend coverage in Warcop in case of emergencies. It will be located in the old BT phone box, which we have been discussing what to do with for some time. We hope to run some defib training at the Parish Hall in the near future for local residents who would like to know how to use the defibs.

We now have defibs in Bleatarn, Sandford and Warcop (2.)

Community Wheels Friday Minibus Link Service Extended from Friday 4th October

Our weekly Friday minibus service to Appleby has been extended to include more local communities from Friday 4th October. The aim is to cover areas previously included by the former Robinsons service, so elsewhere the bus will go out to several fellside villages as well as parts of Appleby to allow residents to get into Appleby for a couple of hours.

The timings are slightly different but the connection to the 563 Stagecoach bus to Penrith at 09:58 will continue, as will the collection on its return at 2:20 from The Sands in Appleby. The price will be the same but travellers will need to obtain a prepayment card from the Heritage Centre in Appleby to cover the cashless payment for each journey.

The Sandford/Warcop service will now include Great Asby and Ormside but the bus will only operate if travellers phone or email the Heritage Centre by Thursday at the latest on 017683 53350.

The scheme operates by means of a team of volunteer drivers and we are always looking to increase this team to share the driving load.

Warcop Parish Council Vacancy

We are very pleased to say that Katie Hauser from Warcop has applied to become our new Parish Councillor following John Heron stepping down. Her appointment will be confirmed at our September meeting and we are looking forward to working with her in our aim to improve our community as much as possible and to represent the views of residents across a range of issues.

However, we are sad to see thet Georgie Fell is stepping down as a councillor as she is expecting her first baby and is finding it hard to balance her work and home commitments. We thank her for all her excellent work and hope that she will return to the council at some point in the future.

Anyone who is interested in becoming a Parish Councilor should contact me on 41390 or the Clerk, Heidi Strong, on 41102.
