COLD ASTON PARISH COUNCIL NOTICES
Details of the next council meeting
Our next council meeting will be held on Wednesday, 29th July at 6.45pm on Zoom. An agenda for this meeting will be posted on the parish website and village noticeboards together with a link for joining the meeting. We currently only have three councillors as Andrew Bullock and Ben Morris stood down in March. We would like to thank both of them for their hard work over the last few years. When councillors stand down mid-term we usually co-opt replacements until the next regular election (due in 2023). However, a number of parishioners has requested a formal election and, due to coronavirus protections at the moment, this cannot be held until May 2021. With just three councillors, if one of us is unable to make a meeting we will not be quorate and it will not be possible to hold a meeting, as such we ask you to bear with us. If anyone has any questions or wants to discuss an issue, please get in touch with us or email the clerk Belinda Holder on coldastonpcc@outlook.com.

Parish Council vacancy - election called
From the clerk:
“Following the notice of vacancy which was published on 11 May, I write to let you know that we have received sufficient requests for an election to be held.
Under the Coronavirus regulations, the date for this election will be 6 May 2021 unless the Government allow it to be conducted at an earlier stage. Should we be able to conduct the election earlier than 6 May, we will advise you of the date.
Once the election date is confirmed, the process begins with the Notice of Election which is published around 7 weeks before election day. Anyone wishing to stand as a candidate at the election will then need to submit a nomination paper to this office. Full details, dates and copies of the nomination paper will be available just before the notice of election is published.
If 2 or more candidates stand, an election will be held. If there are 2 candidates, they will be elected without a poll. If fewer than 2 stand, they will be elected without a poll and a further election will be called for the remaining vacancy.
In the meantime, the 3 remaining councillors remain quorate and can continue with Parish Council business as required.”

Cold Aston Tree Survey (allotments and the sycamore on the green)
We have recently instructed a survey (which is our obligation every 5 years) on the health and safety of the trees at the allotments for which the Parish Council is responsible. The report is available on the Parish Council website (see link below).
No work will be undertaken without an opportunity for discussion with parishioners when the current Covid-19 restrictions are lifted. Once any work is agreed, the necessary planning permission will be sought. We are aware of the need to wait until well into the winter before any work can be carried out in order to protect nesting birds and other wildlife.

There are some simple, but effective things we can all do to help:
There are some simple, but effective things we can all do to help:
- Making sure they have enough food and other general supplies to cover a few days - there is no need to panic buy
- Walking their dog, picking up a prescription, putting out their bins, taking in a parcel
- Phoning, Skyping or Facetime them so they can see a friendly face, helping to reduce their isolation
- Sharing child care or other caring responsibilities
- Checking if any of their planned appointments have been cancelled before they travel
- Making sure they have some simple recipes to hand if they are not the normal cook or that they have done some batch cooking for the freezer
