Newsletter June 2020

It was extremely disappointing that, after months of preparation, the VE Day celebrations planned for the 8th/9th May had to be cancelled due to the COVID-19 restrictions. It s hoped, however, to stage the event later in the year, once the restrictions are lifted, so look out for further details which will be posted on the Parish Council website.

One positive to come from the VE Day planning was the publication of a very interesting booklet by Gill Lindsay and members of the History Society outlining how Evercreech was affected by the events of World War II., a copy of which was uploaded to the council website and is available to view now.

I am also pleased to report that our Street Cleaner has recommenced his duties, and will be out and about keeping the village clean and tidy, whilst at the same time ensuring compliance with the current social distancing advice.

We have just been advised that this year’s NASS Festival, which was due to be held at the Bath and West Showground in July, has been cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions on public gatherings, and will now take place between the 8th and 11th July 2021. More information on the implementation of the agreed improvements in the organisation of the event to avoid the problems experienced in 2019 will be available later this year.

Finally, we are continuing to hold our monthly ‘virtual ‘ Parish Council meetings on-line, and members of the public can view the agenda on the parish council website and forward their comments or questions to the Parish Clerk for consideration at the meeting by:

e-mailing clerk@evercreech-pc.gov.uk, phoning 01749 830265 or writing to ‘Maestone‘ Enfield Drive, Evercreech, BA4 6LL prior to the meeting date.
