Wiltshire Councils Development Planning Document (DPD). This additional demand by the new DPD has also been discussed as the proposals directly affect our neighbourhood - where and how many additional houses might be built in the parish. The new DPD has only recently been published and could have a major impact on our village if left unopposed. To ensure that your views are represented, Wiltshire Council are holding a series of meetings July to September at which you can have your say . The Trowbridge exhibition takes place between 12pm and 7pm in the County Hall Atrium on 26 July 2017.
Our NP is progressing well and will be presented to Wiltshire Council shortly for its first review. All your responses from our consultation meetings have been considered and form part of the plan with additional work from a Landscaping Consultant. This will ensure that the plan has every aspect of the North Bradley environment and surrounding area covered.
We will update the Parish Council web site once the Neighbourhood Plan has been presented to Wiltshire Council.
We are aiming to purchase a defibrillator, which will be accessible to the whole community.In England, the ambulance service attempt resuscitation in approximately 25,000 cases per annum but at present, only a small proportion survive this is because most cases of sudden cardiac arrest are due to an abnormality of the heart’s electrical rhythm called ventricular fibrillation (VF) in which the electrical impulses that normally control the heart become chaotic and uncoordinated. The heart stops beating (i.e. it ceases to act as a pump) and the circulation of blood stops. Death is inevitable unless the condition is recognised promptly and defibrillation is carried out. Defibrillation is the use of a high-energy electric shock that stops the chaotic rhythm of VF and allows the normal, organised, electrical rhythm of the heart to re-start. This can allow the pumping action of the heart to return.
The major factor limiting the number of people who survive sudden cardiac arrest is the ability to provide defibrillation within a critical time.
The Peace Memorial Hall are hoping to provide a defibrillator that will be accessible to the community 24/7, 365 days a year, they will also have it accredited with the South Western Ambulance service.
The hall will hold free familiarisation sessions for anyone who would like to see the defibrillator in action and alleviate and apprehensions the community may have in using it.
We will soon be adding the first poppies of 2017 to the memorial by the Baptist Church, commemorating two men who fell in the early stages of the Arras Offensive in 1917. Thankfully, there had previously been no war deaths since just before Christmas 1916.
Poppies are being added on Sunday 9th April for:
Arthur Howard Lane and William Christopher White
