Public Urged To Be Vigilant To Scam Vaccine Messages

Following reports in other parts of the country we are warning the public to be wary of messages claiming to be from the NHS asking the recipient to apply for their vaccine.

At a time when people are already feeling anxious and eagerly awaiting details of the impending vaccine, scammers are using this to their advantage to commit fraud. If you receive such a text, don’t follow the link or share any personal or financial details. The link will take you through to a fake NHS website which is purposefully designed to exploit vulnerable people.

Litter Picking

The Parish Council is extremely grateful to its band of volunteer litter pickers who help to keep North Bradley and its surroundings litter free. Please see link to the Parish Council's risk assessment for litter picking. Volunteers need to know that to be protected by the council's Public Liability insurance scheme, they should be aware of this assessment and advise the parish council litter co-ordinator when they intend to carry out a litter pick. Please just give Mrs Lee Lee a call on 01225 752710 or drop an email to her at Should there be any other willing litter pickers, (maybe combine it with your daily exercise) please contact Mrs Lee Lee who would be more than happy to let you have the appropriate equipment.

Changes to D1X bus service to Bath

The 0805 D1X bus service from Manor Farm/The Rising Sun will be running 1/2 hour earlier at 0734. from the 6th of September.   This is to suit its service as a schools transport bus and so will have to fit in with the school timings. There will also be a D1X running at the same times (approx). This will ONLY be available to school / college students travelling on a school / college pass.  The next bus through North Bradley will be at 1020 and will be two buses as it has to cater for the college students of which they expect a big increase.
