INFORMATION FROM RUTLAND COUNTY COUNCIL

The County Council’s website (www.rutland.gov.uk) is being re-organised to make more readily available helpful information:

  • For businesses, employers and the self-employed including links to funding and grants.  RCC has already paid £3.5million of grant payments to 306 local businesses.  See also, www.businesssupport.gov.uk;
  • For individuals – details of neighbourhood schemes, changes and closures of Council services.  In addition, activities and material to support those educating or entertaining children can be found on the Council’s Facebook and twitter channels and on the library’s website; and
  • For volunteers – a section dedicated to signposting residents to volunteering opportunities in the county.

 

We have also been asked to raise awareness of The Silent Solution system, arising out of the police’s concerns of an increase in reported incidents of domestic abuse.

It has been designed for victims who might be afraid of further danger and escalation of harm if heard making a 999 call.  So, on making a 999 call and being asked by the operator which emergency service is required, press 55 and the operator will transfer the call to the relevant police force as an emergency.

 

SSAFA, The Armed Forces Charity Helpline

SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, has asked us to publicise details of their confidential helpline “Forcesline”  which provides an uninterrupted telephone, email and webchat facility for those who need support or reassurance.

Once they know of a serviceperson, veteran or family in need their local branch gets in touch and provides assistance. Please see their website for further details www.ssafa.org.uk

The confidential helpline is: 0800 731 4880

Pot plant doorstep delivery service to Ridlington Village Hall

Ridlington has a garden club and many of those living in the village are keen gardeners.

Gardening also gets us all out into the fresh air and is a great way of getting healthy daily exercise.

The Peach family are friends of Dawn and Russell’s on Main Street and run a plant Nursery selling pot bedding, Perennials, Cyclamen and Daffodils.

Due to the current situation they are unable to sell their plants to garden centres. In order to find an alternative outlet for them (you may have read about the problems facing such businesses) they have decided to offer a doorstep delivery service to all those wishing to brighten up their gardens whilst in isolation.

Their glasshouses are full of spring plants and it would be a great shame to see them all go to waste! If you are a budding gardener, please get in touch with them (see below) and place your order!

All plants and prices are detailed in the attachment with prices per tray. https://www.ridlingtonparishcouncil.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/Peach-Price-List.pdf

If you would like to place an order please send an email to chris.peach@btconnect.com detailing the plants you would like. They will then send over to you details of the total cost of the order along with an order number and bank details for you to complete a BACS transfer. Please reference your order number when making the transfer.

They will be making a delivery to Ridlington soon, so if you would like to purchase plants, please do let them know as soon as possible.

We will be arranging to have the plants delivered to Ridlington Village Hall where they will be available for you to pick up.

Social distancing will be in place for  picking up the plants.

Details of the date of delivery  and the time period they will be available to pick up at the Village Hall will be made available once some orders have been made.

Please remember only pre-ordered plants will be delivered.

** Note that they will be giving a 2% donation to the NHS for every plant sold**

For those that use Facebook in the village, here is a message from Martin Bryers,

I have created a group on Facebook for more social information and wondered how best to circulate – it is open to Ridlington residents.

It’s more informal and social rather than the Street Reps or PCC website.  Take a look https://www.facebook.com/groups/921612974937425/

This way you can stay up-to-date with what we are doing.

 

Thank you
Martin
