HEMYOCK EMERGENCY PLAN (HEP) 

Do you think you could help if we ever had to activate the village emergency plan? 

Mr Tim Barton is reviewing the Emergency Plan on behalf of the parish council.  Much of the review has been completed and Mr Barton hopes to issue a draft plan to the parish council very soon.

With the various celebrations in the coming weeks, the Council would like to remind you of this.

The Hemyock Litter Pickers are looking for new volunteers to help keep a stretch of Hemyock road tidy; the more we have, the shorter the area!  Find out who your Chief Womble is and volunteer.

The Police have issued a report on recent crimes in the area, and request we keep sheds locked as they mostly concerned theft of power tools.

The Parish Council are promoting a scheme called Community Speed Watch, where trained local volunteers help police officers and PCSOs man speed guns to drive down local speeds.
