Hambleton Parish Council

PREESALL TOWN COUNCIL (cont)

will no longer attend to stiles on public footpaths in Preesall and Knott End. The county council has indicated that it is a landowner’s responsibility to ensure rights of way are passable and safe. Landowners with issues regarding stiles on their property are therefore advised to work with the county council’s public rights of way team and to act to promote safety. Advice is available from the clerk to Preesall Town Council regarding contact details.

Summer Switch

In common with many town and parish councils, Preesall Town Council will not be holding an August meeting.

Next Meeting

Preesall Town Council will meet next on Mon 13th Sept at 7:00pm. This is a public meeting and residents are welcome. An opportunity to raise matters is available.

Please keep an eye on the council’s website, noticeboards and Facebook page for updates.

HAMBLETON COUNCIL (cont)

to the agenda.

Hambleton in Bloom

Back in July Hambleton was judged for the annual In Bloom competition. Councillors and volunteers all worked hard to prepare the village and it really did look good on the day. Thanks go out to all those involved. Keeping the village looking ‘blooming’ is not easy and volunteers are always needed. If you have some spare time and would like to help the village please contact the Clerk.

Best Kept Village

Following an inspection by Wyre Council engineers it has become apparent that, following recent vandalism, the bus shelter at Ryecroft Corner (used when travelling to Poulton) is damaged beyond repair and is due to be removed. Sadly there is no money in the budget to replace the shelter at this time. The Parish Council are in discussions with Wyre Council to ensure funds are available in 2022/23 to fund a replacement. Councillors recently walked around the village looking to identify areas that needed repair etc. One concern was the number of gardens where vegetation eg hedges, was hanging over pavements, making safe walking difficult or over the actual highways, in effect, narrowing roads and obstructing views at junctions. Can you please ensure that all vegetation from your garden is cut back to the line of your property to avoid difficulties for pedestrians and vehicles.

Sea Bank House

A special home for special people

Sea Bank House is a residenti al home for elderly people who are unable to live independently in their own homes. Or philosophy of care is based on the belief that it is the right of any resident in the home to be respected as an individual, and that everyone has the right to be allowed to live as full and acti ve a life as both their mental and physical conditi on allows. We endeavour to provide an environment which is not only comfortable and homely, but gives the warmth and understanding normally associated with family care but supported by specialist equipment and well trained care staff . Needs are met maintaining personal dignity, privacy and encouraging independence where possible. Acti viti es, passive and acti ve are encouraged throughout the day by trained care staff under the guidance of the Home Manager. Each care plan takes into considerati on the physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs, in order to create a care plan that is relevant to individuals. Recognising, nurturing and encouraging the residents remaining skills and ability to communicate is or paramount importance to the quality of care given at Sea Bank House.
