COVID-19: MESSAGE FROM NORTHINGTON PARISH COUNCIL

Dear Fellow Resident,

You may have already received an email from Melissa Jennings dated
11 March offering a contact point with your Parish Council (PC) during the current COVID- 19 pandemic.

The PC met yesterday (17 March) to review the current situation and decide what needed to be done. Elaine Capp of Neighbourhood Watch and Lou Walker joined the meeting at the PC’s invitation. The following decisions emerged:

  •   The parish email distribution list will be the main vehicle of communication.
  •   To plug any gaps in the list the PC will deliver a hard copy of this letter to all

    households.

  •   Initial prime contacts for Parish Council coordinated assistance will be:

    Melissa Jennings: melissajennings1@hotmail.co.uk

 Tel: 07775 655214

Dennis Nye: info@northingtonparishcouncil.uk
 Tel: 07799 587913 or 01962 733328

If you have received this letter only in hard copy form, please seriously consider letting Dennis have your email details and/or check that your email junk settings are not blocking info@northingtonparishcouncil.uk messages.

We suggest that all residents put in place their own support plans with friends or family. In the event that these plans fail, the PC has set up a team of volunteer helpers, who are willing to offer help/advice to those who are restricted by isolation. If further assistance is beyond their reach, they will seek advice elsewhere.

Unless you have strong reservations, please let the PC know if you and/or your household are in self-isolation or enforced isolation. This information will make it easier for the PC to provide help, should it be needed.

The Parish Council is registered under current data protection legislation to hold such information.

Your PC support group is ready to offer help and welcomes your involvement in whatever form you prefer.

General Data Protection Regulation 25th May 2018 (GDPR)

The General Data Protection Regulation acquires statutory force on 25 May 2018.  You are probably well aware of this fact and have as a consequence been flooded with letters and emails from institutions which hold data on you.  Northington Parish Council keeps a list of addresses, email addresses and telephone numbers (in some cases) so this puts us squarely within the remit of the Act.  The Council is obliged to tell you that we hold data on you and to give you the chance to have it deleted.


At its Annual Meeting on 15 May 2018, the Parish agreed that the Council should put its full statement on the Parish website and send a synopsis to everyone.  The  synopsis, which will also be on the website, is attached below.”Parish Privacy Notice – SynopsisParish Privacy Notice – Long Version

Parish Clerk – Thank you Rhona, welcome Alex

As many of you already know, Rhona Hatchley is moving on from her role as Parish Clerk. Over the last five years Rhona has shown professional and unwavering dedication to her responsibilities as Clerk and her attention to detail, thoroughness and accuracy is a by-word. She has served our entire community superbly well. The Parish Councillors wish to thank Rhona on everyone’s behalf.

Alex Risebury is taking up the reins from Rhona. We are grateful to her and welcome her most warmly.

Alex is contactable for parish council matters on northingtonparishcouncil@gmail.com.

John Mitchell
Chairman, Northington Parish Council
