Bembridge Parish Council Information Page

We were made aware of this letter at the end of last week and I've been trying to make sure that it has actually gone out to residents before posting, as I know that these works have been delayed on a number of occasions before. However, we think it is important that people are kept abreast of what is going on asap, so posting here now to make sure everyone is aware.
I believe Southern Water will be writing to Plastic Free and the Parish Council in relation to the objection letter that was recently lodged with them. I'm also expecting a reply as Ward Councillor from the CEO of SW regarding issues that I have raised with him regarding investments that have already been earmarked for use to reduce rainwater run off into the system. If we can avoid the system being overwhelmed with rainwater then even if the pipe is in place, it should hopefully very rarely (ideally never) be used. I'll update when I hear more, either here, or for the latest IoWC info you can follow Cllr Mark Rochell Bembridge
Thanks.

Thank You!

Thank you so much to all those who attended our Cakes4Cancer event this morning in the Village Hall. Also thank you to those individuals who made or bought cakes for us to sell, and local businesses for their donations; Hotbox, Little Foxes, Inver Care and the residents of The Limes. Thank you also for the raffle prizes that were donated. A special thanks to our lengthsman Steve who donated a huge jar of loose change he had been saving which amounted to a whopping £150!

Final total will be announced once all the money is counted.
All proceeds will be going to the Wessex Cancer Support Centre in Newport.

Just a reminder about our Cakes4Cancer coffee morning event being held in Bembridge Village Hall this Friday 29th May 10.00am - 12.30pm. There will be a raffle and 'Guess the Weight of the Cake' competition. Unfortunately we do not have any card machines so this is a cash only event.

Every penny raised will be donated to the Wessex Cancer Support Centre in Newport.

Don't forget to come along to this free workshop this Saturday! The link to book your free place is below. Please tell others who may not have access to the internet or social media. You can just turn up on the day, but booking a ticket just allows us to prepare a little better for numbers attending.

Reminder to everyone that the annual parish meeting takes place next Tuesday, 26th May, in the Village Hall at 6:30pm.

This is a statutory meeting of the village, and not a Parish Council meeting. We simply organise the date, time and location. If the Chair or Vice Chair of the Parish Council are in attendance they are required to Chair the meeting and a rough agenda is attached below.

Hope to see you there.

As we move nearer to Bembridge in Bloom, can we ask the winners from last year to start to return their cups to the Parish Council Office in the next few weeks please. The office is open Tue -Fri 9.30am-12.30pm.

Many thanks.

This may be of interest to our local community.

Bembridge Parish Council invite you to a Community Climate Action Workshop at the BYCC on Steyne Road on Saturday 30th May 11.00am - 3pm.

This is the promised follow up to the 'People's Emergency Briefing' film that was shown as part of our Environment Awareness Event that took place on 18th April.

This free hands on workshop will explore practical ways to create warmer cleaner energy homes, eat healthier food, and help nature to thrive, amongst many other things.

Please come and support this event to help make the community of Bembridge greener, cleaner and healthier!

Just a reminder about the Cakes4Cancer Coffee Morning in Bembridge Village Hall on Friday 29th May 10.00am - 12.30pm. Alongside tea/coffee and cake there will be a raffle and 'guess the weight of the cake' competition.

This is a great opportunity to support a very worthwhile cause raising funds for the Wessex Cancer Support Centre in Newport, as well as a social opportunity to get out and meet people. Please do come along and support this event and tell others who may not have access to the internet about it too.

If anyone would like to bake/buy a cake to donate to the event, or provide a raffle prize please contact Debbie on 01983 874160 or email [email protected].

Thank you everyone for your support!
