Ashdon News – Ashdon Parish Community

Facebook feed now on the web site

We are constantly looking at ways to improve your Parish Council web site and have just added a page showing Facebook posts / the feed from the Parish Council Facebook Page.
 
You can view this page via the “Social Media” drop down option under the News option on the menu bar.
 The aim, is that over time, we will be able to post all updates on just the Facebook Page and they will automatically display on the web site page. This will enable us to just update in one place and avoid the duplication of having to put the same update on two places.
You do not need to be a Facebook User to see the overview of the posts (although if are you have added functions).
We would welcome any feedback (good or bad).

A Plea from The Ashdon Players

Appeal for Information

“This photograph was published in the Summer 2022 edition of the Ashdon Village Magazine. I would like to include it in an article I hope to have published about the Ashdon Windmill but I have so far been able to verify who took the photograph. Please can you let me know if you are the person who took this and if you would be happy for me to use it and if you would like me to cite your name as the originator of the photograph.”

Thank you

Whilst out and about today we came across these two lovely residents who were doing their very own litter pick from Rogers End up towards Waltons. They told us that they had collected almost two bin bags full of rubbish.

Thank you ladies…

Victim Support Initiative

A message from Councillor Colin Day (Uttlesford District Council).

In my capacity as Chair of the Uttlesford Community Safety Partnership Committee I am forwarding the attachment to you as it carries the full support of this committee. This essentially is a card outlining details of a Victim Support initiative entitled “My support space” which is for people aged 16 and over who have been affected by crime and or traumatic events and feel able to cope, but who may need help to move forward.

The Parish Council have added this card to the website and you can access it by clicking the button below.

Ashdon Primary School Lottery

Today (May 10th) would have been the biggest fundraiser for the school, the 10K run, losing this income will have a massive impact on our school and our children, as a result, the PTA have been looking at alternative ways to raise money for the school, and as such have launched a school lottery which is run by yourschoollottery.co.uk.

The first draw is this coming Saturday, 16th May with a guaranteed winner that is someone who is supporting the school plus the possibility of winning the national prize of £25,000. (Posted 10/05/20).
