Barcombe Village Community Speedwatch Group.
The Parish Council have been approached by several people asking if the Speedwatch Group could be reinstated. If there is sufficient interest a coffee meet up will be arranged in September or October.
The Councillors would be very willing to support the group and can arrange online training and the loan or purchase of the required equipment. Based on the earlier attempt a group of 8-10 volunteers would be a good size to begin with. A volunteer group of this size would mean that teams of three could go out regularly without requiring too much time from any one individual.
If you are interested in joining the project please contact the clerk on [email protected] to be added to the mailing list.
More information on Community Speedwatch available here

Find out how to become part of the initiative to monitor the speed of vehicles in your area.

Parish Council round up...

Do you think your garden is a wildlife haven? or would you like it to be? Register your garden on the Weald to Waves Garden and Green spaces map and get advice on how to make your garden more wildlife friendly https://www.wealdtowaves.co.uk/gardens-greenspaces/

We have had complaints about dog poo on the rec and in other areas - and also dog poo bags being abandoned. Please take them home with you. Also, a reminder that dogs should be on a lead on the rec if there are children or vulnerable people around.

A reminder that if you live in the village conservation area then any work to trees needs to be checked with Lewes Planning authority first.

If you would like to receive the Green Barcombe newsletter, please go to greenbarcombe.org and click on the yellow button at the top.

Looking forward to some rain!

Solar eclipse Wednesday 12th! Good view from the rec as the sun sets. ECLIPSE GLASSES NEEDED.
It is not possible to view a solar eclipse though sunglasses. You will damage your eyes. Eclipse glasses are available through online retailers.

When, where and how to get the optimal view of the first solar eclipse to be visible across the country this century
