3 April 2020 - Water Works, date correction, thanks
Dear everyone.
Hannah Sweeney, a Treatment Project Manager for Wessex Water, told Andy Hohne that work at the Water Treatment Centre, which paused in response to the coronavirus outbreak, will resume on Monday 6 April. Water and sewerage personnel are designated as key workers on construction projects that are necessary to maintain water or sewerage services. The £3.7 million upgrade at the Water Works definitely falls into that category as it is critical to maintain water resources in the area. The work is now expected to be finished by October this year.
I checked the date above carefully, because in a recent newsbite Tony Ferrari asked for donations of food that you might be able to spare for Louis O’Leary’s volunteer network to distribute. He asked you to put your donation in the box by the VIC (ex-Telephone Box) on Sunday 11 April. Geoff contacted me to point out that 11 April is a Saturday, but I’m sure that Tony meant that he will put the box out on Sunday 12 April.
Thanks to Richard Backwell for supplying me with the two lovely routes around the village which avoid the problems with boggy ground and the deeply rutted track up to Margaret’s Seat. I’ve passed these on to a number of people - not too many, so you should be easily able to keep 2 metres apart.
Stay safe and well
Chris
