Illegal Damming of the Wellow Brook
 

It has come to the notice of Wellow Parish Council that a substantial dam has been built across the Wellow Brook on the east side of the ford.  The co-owner of this stretch of river has pointed out that this is an illegal act and can have a detrimental effect on the trout population.  Other consequences can be the erosion of the river banks and subsequent loss of trees.

The dam will be dismantled by the landowner and Wellow Parish Council would be grateful if parishioners would refrain from this illegal activity on private property in future.

Katie Chillies

My Katie Chilli plant is highly productive this year and is producing extremely hot fruit. I'm happy to give some of these away to anyone who wants to try them or who thinks they can use them. Would you be able to email the village making the offer:

Free to collector - extremely hot 'Katie' Chillies. I have a surplus of Katie chillies and will gladly share them with anyone who thinks they can use them. Katies are the hottest UK bred chillies and, being rated at 1,590, 000 scoville units, are not for the faint hearted. If you're interested give me a call on 01225-834329 around 18:30 or e-mail me at chriscook495@hotmail.com.

Many thanks

Chris

Dear Packhorse supporter

We're getting close now! If we can raise £100,000 in the next 3 weeks then we will buy the Packhorse for the community. Just last week we received funds or firm commitments of £53,000 bringing our total raised to date to £428,850 - well over 80% of the purchase price from over 130 investors. Many thanks to all concerned!

We still have a lot to raise and time is limited so please act today. You can help immediately by investing now and by forwarding this message to family and friends.

If you have questions about the project there are many ways to get in touch:

• visit our web site or our Facebook page

• meet us at Bath Farmers' Market (Saturday mornings at Green Park Station)

• pick up the latest copy of Bristol CAMRA's award winning "Pints West" newsletter (page 24)

• look out for coverage in the Bath Chronicle

• or simply reply to this message!

Also, we're holding another public meeting at 6:30pm on Saturday 10 September outside the pub and in South Stoke village hall to discuss progress and give shareholders and potential investors a final opportunity to meet and question the team before we buy the pub.

If you've not yet invested, please do so now by reading our prospectus and sending us your completed share application form.

With thanks,

Wellow Composting Club

 
Dear members, Despite my earlier requests, and notices at the site, evergreen and woody Willow cuttings have been left at the site recently. It takes a lot of time and energy to cut up and dispose of them into green bins, for BANES to pick up fortnightly.

I would therefore ask that, in future, only weeds and grass cuttings be deposited at the site, please.
