February and March is a good time of year to pick up litter from the roadside verges and hedges of the parish before the vegetation starts to grow and the Parish Council is therefore inviting volunteers to help with litter picking over the next few weeks. We have negotiated the donation of five sets of litter picking equipment from Ubico, the company that runs recycling in Gloucestershire. Due to the Covid regulations we cannot organise communal litter picking sessions, so volunteers will need to litter pick alone or with their household members. Litter picking will be limited to the lanes in the parish, NOT the main roads. We have divided the parish into the following nine sections:

1. Hunter’s Hall to Windy Corner
2. A4135 Junction to Windy Corner past Barnhill Farm
3. Windy Corner to Scrubbetts Farm
4. Vipers Lane: past Newington Bagpath Church through farm to Newington Barn
5. Windmill Lane: post box to T-junction at end of lane
6. Hunter’s Hall to village hall
7. Village hall to trig point via Lower Hazlecote
8. Trig point to Tipputs Inn 
9. Trig point to A46 via Upper Hazlecote

If you wish to volunteer, please note the following:

– You should take all reasonable safety precautions and always be aware of road traffic
– Ideally wear some high visibility clothing so that you are easily visible to road users
– Dress in weather-appropriate clothing (hats, gloves, warm coat, etc)
– Do not pick up anything dangerous or hazardous (broken glass, needles, dog mess, etc)
– Contact Sebastian Cooper via email or telephone 01453 860811 to let him know which of the above sections you wish to cover and arrange collection of your litter picking equipment.

Villagers are very welcome to make use of our driveway to park during the course of these works while their own access to the roadway may be blocked or restricted.  No need to pre-book!

Please see the attached document setting out the details of the upcoming road closures in Kingscote starting 8 February due to the fibre broadband cable installation works to be carried out on behalf of Gigaclear.

Please note that the description of the six phases by Gigaclear may not be entirely accurate but the maps show the exact extent of the closures, with a red line denoting the closed stretch of road.

Contact Gigaclear by emailing networkbuildcare@gigaclear.com if you have any questions about the road closures or the project in general.

The Forerunner – February 2021

With the number of Covid cases continuing to rise, the decision has been made not to have Sunday services in Kingscote (nor in Horsley or Nailsworth) until the present national lockdown is reviewed and changes made.  

However the church in Kingscote will continue to be open for private prayer and contemplation between 9am and 3pm every Sunday.  

Online services for the benefice can be joined via Zoom and details can be found on the benefice website.
