Residents of Wadebridge will now notice the beautiful baskets throughout our lovely Town.

Staff have worked tirelessly over the last two days in the glorious weather to ensure Wadebridge gets the lift it needs.

Baskets at the Town Hall & Library are planted in colours to commemorate VE Day, so keep an eye out as they blossom. Next week we will be focusing on the various beds around Wadebridge which also be reflecting this theme.

All tasks were done safely in accordance with Government Guidelines.

Next week we will begin to put up the hanging baskets in town which were so popular last year.  With social distancing in place this exercise now has additional challenges and we will be taking precautions for our staff and the public while we do this.  While lockdown is being eased we still need to be careful as we go about our daily business. 

Please ensure you allow our staff space to carry out this exercise quickly and safely.  

Our hanging baskets are for you Wadebridge.  As we slowly return to the outside world we hope you enjoy seeing how our baskets grow over the summer and that they brighten your day.

 

Please note; Full Council meetings are not being held in accordance with the published schedule due to Covid-19.  Any future meeting details will be put on our website/Facebook when this information is available.

 

Thank you.

To mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day on Friday 8 May, the Royal British Legion is calling on individuals and communities across the UK to come together during key moments to pay tribute to the service and sacrifice of the entire Second World War generation. As we face some of the most challenging times since the end of the war, now more than ever it is important to come together and unite, just as communities did 75 years ago. 

We ask everyone, wherever you may be, in Wadebridge and our surrounding communities, to join the national moment of reflection and Remembrance at 11am on Friday as we pause in a two-minute silence to honour the service and sacrifice of the Second World War generation, and also take the opportunity to reflect on the devastating impact Covid-19 has had on so many lives across the world.

The circumstances today are different to those of 75 years ago, but the response of our communities remains the same: Be kind. Unite. We can, and we will, pull through this together.


Egloshayle Cemetery is now open

Wadebridge Town Council, as the burial authority, has received clear guidance from the Government and the Local Government Association that our cemetery can now be re-opened to the public.

“The Ministry of Justice has confirmed that Section 5 (8) of the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) Regulations 2020 requires those responsible for crematoria to close them except for funerals. This requirement to close would also include a cemetery if the crematorium is situated in the cemetery, which could then only be open for burials. The regulation does not apply to other cemeteries, which can stay open”

We thank you all for being so understanding during this difficult time - stay safe.
