Flood Message from Dr Dan PoulterThe Flood Recovery Framework provides support for immediate flood recovery costs. This funding is passed to councils to distribute to householders. It includes a Community Recovery Grant of up to £500 per household for immediate flood recovery costs; Council Tax discounts of up to 100% for the time householders remain living outside their flood affected homes and up to £5000 to ‘future-proof’ the home against future flooding. Apply through your local council. See website address on Parish Council page.
Dr Poulter continues that more rain is forecast so to remain vigilant. You can sign up for free flood warnings at https://www.gov.uk/sign-up-for-flood-warnings or call Flood Line on 0845 988 1188

Wickham Skeith Oil Syndicate - how it works
Our oil scheme has been running for 13 years now and over that period has saved the village tens of thousands of pounds. The vast majority of oil users in the village are already members but if you’re not and want to join, just drop me an email with contact details or give me a call if you don’t have email.
There’ll be five opportunities to place orders over the next 12 months.
On or before: - 30 September - 30 November - 31 January - 31 March - 30 June
Before each of these dates I’ll place a reminder in the village newsletter and also send you an email reminder. Then let me know by email (or phone) that you’d like to be included in the next order. I’ll need to know: - address and telephone number(s) - unless you’ve ordered before - quantity required (min 500 litres) - any special instructions - eg concerning delivery
- price - expected delivery date - the company's contact details in case you need to speak to them directly
If you've any questions please ring Jerry on 765908 or email jerrybassett@icloud.com

It would appear that many local parishes are unhappy with the roadside services currently being supplied by Suffolk County Council and this issue is being addressed directly with our County Councillor, Andrew Stringer.
