Blue Hearts Scheme

At the May Council meeting, Councillors agreed to submit requests for verges and approved costs for Cllr Wayne Clark to make some blue hearts,

which he has designed and printed in 3d.

We have made submissions for the verges on Pear Tree Hill in Salfords and Ironsbottom in Sidlow and await SCC confirmation.

If you would like a verge near you to also be left to allow wild flowers to grow, please submit your request to us so we can make an application to

SCC and if approved mark it with our blue heart.

The Parish Council plans to plant more bulbs in the Autumn so if you have suggestions for areas within the parish, please let the Clerk know.

The Society of Local Clerks ( SLCC), National Association of Local Councils (NALC), and One Voice Wales (OVW) believe now is the time to put civility and respect at the top of the agenda and start a culture change for the local council sector. Councillors have signed the Pledge, agreeing that it will treat councillors, clerks, employees, members of the public, and representatives of partner organisations and volunteers with civility and respect in their roles, and that it has put in place a training programme for councillors and staff: We: have signed up to the Code of Conduct for councillors - We have have good governance arrangements in place including staff contracts and a Dignity at Work policy - we have will seek professional help at early stages should civility and respect issues arise - we would will commit to calling out bullying and harassment if and when it happens - we would will continue to learn from best practice in the sector and aspire to being a role model / champion council e.g., via Local Council Award Scheme - we have and are used as a role model support the continued lobbying for change in legislation to support the civility and respect, including sanctions for elected members where appropriate
