Mental health support

A reminder that WNC provides 24/7 mental health support through Shout.

24-hour mental health support, 365 days a year is available through your mobile phone.

Just text the word ‘IMATTER’ to 85258 to be connected to a trained Shout Volunteer. The service is open around the clock and can help with issues such as anxiety, stress, loneliness, depression and suicidal thoughts. The conversation, which takes place entirely by text message, aims to help the texter reach a calmer place with a plan to move forward. It will also signpost them to further support available locally.

Parish Council : Dog fouling

Holcot from the south

You may have noticed as you walk around Holcot, or seen on the Facebook Holcot community page, that dog poo continues to be a problem. Please pick up after your dog when it poos on footpaths or verges! 

Using their Public Spaces Protection Order, WNC are responsible for dealing with any problems (search “PSPO” on WNC’s website). Amongst other things, the order specifies where dogs are allowed (not in the playing field for instance), the requirement to keep dogs on a lead in public places, picking up poo, and carrying the means to do so. It also covers smoking prohibitions in certain places (e.g.; children’s playgrounds, playing fields).

The PSPO is supported by a reporting process, fixed penalty notices, and fines. Visit the WNC website to report offences.

Parish Council : December meeting

December’s Parish Council meeting will be held on THURSDAY 12 December at 7pm in the Village Hall. The agenda will be minimised to allow focus on the Council agreeing a response to the consultation for the Green Hill Solar Farm.

We have arranged a larger venue to allow everyone to attend who would like to participate or listen. The normal 15 minute rule for ‘public’ participation will be relaxed to ensure everyone who would like to is able to speak and present their views to the Council.

Green Hill Solar Farm

Over the last six months or so the Parish Council has drawn attention to the proposal to build a 3000 acre solar farm locally.

Starting 7 November running to 19 December there will be a formal consultation on the proposals run by Green Hill Solar Farm. More information will be provided once we have it.

In the meantime, to help Parishioners understand the scope of the proposal and its potential impacts, we have published a new webpage. The page provides links and a summary of the proposals.

Please take a look. This proposal could have a substantial impact across the area.
