Pebworth Parish Council – Play Equipment Reopening 7th August 2020
 
Pebworth Parish Council have discussed and agreed on the following approach:
 
The government’s public health guidelines are a considerable challenge not only to Pebworth Parish Council but also all operators of play equipment. The council also needs to be aware of its duty of care both to public and its staff. The council is therefore recommending that a pragmatic approach with clear information to the public about risks is followed.
 
It is not feasible for Pebworth Parish Council to provide the following: 
• Provision of Stewards 
• Arrange a booking system 
• Relocate equipment for social distancing 
• Clean equipment daily 
• Provide cleaning equipment 
• Create entrance and exits to the play area 
 
Pebworth Parish Council will carry out the following in relation to the re-opening of the playground
1. Carry out an appropriate Risk Assessment including COVID-19 risks 
2. Prior to opening carry out safety checks on all sites 
3. Prior to opening arrange repairs where necessary 
4. Produce signage to include the following: 

Notice for play equipment users and guardians
 
The Parish Council is reopening the play equipment with effect from 8th August 2020.
 
The COVID-19 virus can survive for up to several days on some hard surfaces. The risks are reduced when outdoors, where surfaces may be subject to UV light and/or rain. Whilst all possible practical measures have been put in place the user of this equipment does so at their own choice and risk.
 
• Use hand sanitiser gel or wipes before and after using the equipment – the Parish Council will not be cleaning the equipment, this is the responsibility of the users
• Do not use the equipment if displaying any symptoms of Covid-19 infection
• 1 family member to accompany 1 child
• Please retain 1m distance from other users e.g. pushing swings
• To enable as many children as possible to use the equipment please limit use to 5 minutes at busy times
• The maximum number of users will be 2 people per item of play equipment from the same household or 1 person otherwise
• When using equipment do not touch face
• Consumption of food and drink within play areas is not permitted
• Please use bins provided or take litter home
 
The play equipment will be monitored regularly and the Parish Council retains the right to restrict access at any time in line with government guidelines or in response to inappropriate behaviour or safety concerns.

PEBWORTH RURAL CINEMA 2020

Due to the government advice on coronavirus (Covid-19), there will be no April rural cinema.

There will be no films over the summer months because of the renovation works on the Village Hall.

We hope to return later in the year.  Details will be posted here, on the village email list as well as in the Piper and Petrus.
Pebworth Village Extension Build Project

Just to let everyone know that we can now confirm the builders Arden Construction will commence on site from Monday June 8th. 
 
They will secure the hall and car park for the duration of the works with completion due in mid October.
Near neighbours will be contacted by letter with the contact details of the site manager in case of need.
 
Due to CoVid-19 measures the site will be closed to all visitors without prior notice and it will be necessary to stop any public
use of the Village Hall car park. The Close will remain fully accessible from the road and the play facilities will be able to be re-opened by the Parish Council as soon as their own restrictions are lifted.
 
We will keep posting updates of progress and will be very happy to take any booking enquiries for post October!
 
With kind regards

COVID-19 - Update from Pebworth Parish Council
 
Dear Parishioners
 
Life in our country and in our small Parish has dramatically changed in the last couple of weeks and seems likely to change further. Pebworth Parish Council are working with Wychavon District Council who in turn are working with County Council and Central Government to filter down the actions required to keep us all safe. All the information that you need should be readily available through the news and internet channels so our ability to influence matters at our small local level is quite limited. However please note the following actions and updates that we ask you to be aware of during this difficult time:
 
  • Parish Council meetings have been suspended until further notice, including the Annual Parish Meeting which was scheduled for 20th April. 
  • Parish matters will continue to be administered remotely and all Parish Councillors and the Parish Clerk can still be contacted individually by Email or telephone
  • We have been instructed to close the children's play area on the Close and the recreation facilities on the field opposite the Masons Arms, however the public open spaces themselves will remain open for now but not for team sports or groups of people .
  • The planned Village Hall renovation project is under regular review and progress will be dependent on ongoing government guidance
  • The streetlight replacement project is likely to be delayed
  • Grass cutting to maintain the public open spaces, burial ground maintenance, and highway verge mowing is suspended until further notice
  • The Parish Lengthsman scheme is being suspended which means that small scale local highway maintenance will be reduced
  • Parish maintenance matters can still be dealt with by the Parish Handyman wherever possible
  • District and County Councils may be operating reduced services, their own websites will show further updates
 
If you live within our Parish and are directly affected by Coronavirus or in self isolation there is immediate local assistance available to you. Pebworth Response Group is a well organised group of local people who are ready and willing to help you with simple everyday tasks such as food shopping, prescription collections, posting mail, dog walking etc. This group is recommended and supported by Pebworth Parish Council, their volunteers can be contacted on 01789 610449 or email help@pebworth.community
 
 
The Coronavirus situation is changing rapidly and any other important updates will be provided as they become available. Please continue to monitor the news and follow all government advice.
 
Please encourage your neighbours and others to join the E-news group to be able to receive up to date Parish Council news and local information – just email the clerk (j-stedman@btconnect.com) to be added to the E-news group
