Dear Clerk

With the election just over a week away, I thought it would be useful to confirm details for you.

Postal votes for the election were sent out last week and we have received quite a few back already.

If anyone has a postal vote, they can post it to us in the pre-paid envelope or hand it in at a polling station in the District on 5 May.

For anyone wishing to know more about the candidates, details can be found on www.choosemypcc.org.uk or we can send a booklet on request.

Polling stations will be open from 7 am until 10 pm on the day.

The result should be known by late afternoon on Friday 6 May and will published be on our website.

I attach a copy of the Statement of Persons Nominated and Notice of Poll, along with the notice of Situation of Polling stations.

Both of these are for publication as widely as possible please.

Any queries, please get in touch with Katrina or I.

Kind regards

Sarah

Hello,

I am working on the Big Community Switch scheme at Gloucestershire County Council. Supported by Gloucestershire County Council, the scheme could help you to save money on your gas and electricity bills and is available to residents on dual and single tariffs and those with pre-payment meters. I am emailing to let you know the next auction is open for households to register their interest.

Residents in Gloucestershire are being invited to take part in the latest Big Community Switch auction, which can help households save money on bills, including those with pre-payment meters. The current auction ends on 16th May.

The scheme helps households potentially save money on their energy bills by using a reverse auction and a principle of bulk buying energy. Residents can register for the scheme online or over the phone, the more people who register the cheaper the quote will be as the scheme offers the big energy companies the opportunity to compete for the customers. This often results in cheaper energy quotes, and residents will receive a quote once the auction has ended. There is no obligation to accept the quote or switch energy provider.

If you have any questions about the scheme do not hesitate to give me a call.

1. It is not practical for more than 2 to work at once without getting in each other’s way.
2. The work is hard physically so, it is suggested that short shifts are done to avoid back strains etc.
3. We need to lift out the ground over a patch over 1 metre square, down to 1 metre deep and then later fill it with a mixture of imported lime free soil, manure and the selected best of the existing soil.
4. I will lay out a sheet of plastic onto which the excavated material can be laid out and sorted, together with some plastic buckets into which stones and rocks can be placed for transport to the tip.  Vegetable material which can later be burned on a bonfire should be taken and dumped near the mower shed.  There will be a wheel barrow there for the latter.
5. Any potentially significant artefacts found should be placed to one side.
