Ever wondered how you'd cope if someone was having a heart attack and you needed to use a defibrillator? The instructions are spoken by the machine but to give you extra confidence, please come along to our free training session at Edingale Village Hall! It will be held at 7pm on Thursday 20th February. It could help you save a life!
The Parish Council asks all dog owners to keep their pets under control while in the public areas and paths around the village. Please use a lead unless you are sure your dog will come back to you when called, and please keep your pet near you and within sight at all times. Of course also pick up the poo.
Lichfield District Council has launched a new on-demand transport service for the villages across Lichfield District.
LinkUp consists of two on demand buses that will provide transport into Lichfield for those who don’t currently have access to public transport.
It’s a value-added service to the current transport network, only it’s a bit like booking a taxi, but you will share your transport with others, just as you would share a bus.
Journeys are £3 each, and can be booked via the dedicated app, online or through calling a dedicated contact centre on 0808 134 6632
Please read this press release sent out this week by the organisers of the Bloodstock Festival and other events at Catton Park. They stress that this vital economic contribution to the area is under threat due to ongoing infrastructure challenges, particularly the state of the historic Chetwynd Bridge – the primary access route to Catton Park and its surrounding communities.
The link will take you to bus times for the service from local villages including Edingale to Tamworth
The Best Kept Village competition results are out - two commendations for Edingale, one in the Community Spirit category and the other in the Small Village category.
Well done everyone who helped with Edingale's entry!
Update - see the Judges Report for 2024 - very encouraging!
The Staffordshire Commissioner’s Office is inviting those who live, work or visit Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent to have their say on their local Policing & Fire priorities over the next 4 years.
Contact details for Highways to report flooded roads - https://apps2.staffordshire.gov.uk/web/reportfault or Severn Trent to report sewage coming from a manhole - stwater.co.uk
There is a proposal to install a pipeline to take treated discharge from sewage works at Measham and Packington in North West Leicestershire to the River Trent. The route of the pipeline is not yet finalised and may no longer be taken along the Mease Valley but be taken to the Tame at Elford; land surveys are currently taking place. Further information will be passed on when we receive it but there has been no consultation with Parish Councils so far.
Report incidents to the police on https://www.staffordshire.police.uk/ which may be quicker than phoning 101
Please let us know if you'd like the Parish Council to purchase these for you:

of our endangered spiky friends. This gap allows them access to forage for food and meet mates.
