Latest Information

The Parish Council has joined the Hedgeway Highway initiative. We have surrounds available for sale (£1.50 each) from the Parish Council office. 

A hedgehog Highway is a 5 inch gap in a fence or wall allowing access for Hedgehogs. These gaps are essential in the battle to prevent the extinction of our endangered spiky friends.

The Hedgehog Highway allows hedgehogs to:
*Forage for food
*Meet mates to breed
*Access nesting sites

Dear Residents,

  Emergency Planning Contact List

 Crockenhill Parish Council is in the process of updating its Emergency Plan. The Plan provides a framework for us, in the event of an emergency, to help those who may be vulnerable. Emergencies include power cuts, heavy snow and flooding.

We are updating our lists and would like to know of anyone who may rely on services such as electrical equipment or delivery of medication; are on their own and have no family living nearby; or are elderly and more vulnerable. You do not have to be a certain age to qualify. In most cases this will likely be just a quick call in an emergency to make sure all is well. In other situations, it may be that more help is needed, so Councillors will work with other agencies to ensure that support/assistance is directed where needed most.

We are also looking for more volunteers who may be able to help during an emergency. Obviously, Emergency Services are always the first port of call but there may be times when we need additional support for residents. For example, those with 4x4 vehicles may be able to assist getting people to hospital and getting shopping; those with a generator may be able to help people who rely on electrical equipment; those with Nursing experience may be able to help some of our most vulnerable. This is not intended to be a regular commitment, just help in an emergency situation.

If you would like to be added to our Emergency contact list or register as a volunteer, please contact clerk@crockenhillpc.org.uk to request a short form which can be completed in a few minutes and returned to the Clerk by 28th Feb 2024.

Thank you
