HELPRINGHAM PARISH COUNCIL INVITES YOU TO JOIN AN OPEN ONLINE MEETING TO BE HELD VIA ZOOM ON 20th JANUARY 2025 commencing at 6pm...More....
HELPRINGHAM VILLAGE RESILIENCE GROUP
SCOPING MEETING
In 2024, with the support of the Lincolnshire Resilience Forum (LRF), Helpringham Parish Council began work to establish a Village Resilience Group; unfortunately, as no volunteers came forward and no interest was shown, we deferred to the LRF for support for the village.
However, given the recent flooding, the Parish Council wants to revisit the option to have our own Village Resilience Group (VRG). Whilst - thankfully - no properties were flooded, we were close to having all access routes flooded and many families had flooding on their land and close to residences. That said, the PC is conscious that in practice, any resilience plan can only be a success if, as a village, we make it happen; we hope you can help.
On Monday 20th January, we will hold a Zoom session at 6pm, to which everyone is welcome to attend. The link to the meeting is below for ease; there is no need to register interest, however, please note that to gain access to the meeting, your name must show (it will be clear how to do this through the ‘Join the Meeting’ process). To enable us to start on time, the ‘zoom waiting room’ will be accessible from 545pm.
We appreciate not all residents have access to a device that enables them to join a virtual meeting. If this applies to you or someone you know who would like to be involved, please get in touch with the Parish Clerk directly via helpringhamparishcouncil@gmail.com .
The purpose of the VRG is to prepare, respond and recover for, to and from, emergency situations. The LRF page may also be helpful (https://www.lincolnshireresilienceforum.org/about-us/). At the start of the meeting we will share key points we may wish to consider, but the priority is to hear from residents; if there is a key issue you want the VRG to consider, please could you email that to helpringhamparishcouncil@gmail.com by 17th January.
We would particularly welcome representatives from the key village groups and residents who would be happy to act as a road or area representatives; we need your support to create and deliver a successful village resilience plan and hope that you are able to join us at this scoping meeting.
