From 13–19 October, Flood Action Week returns, reminding us all that when it comes to flooding, being prepared is better than being soaked! 🌊
This annual campaign from the Environment Agency encourages
communities to know the risks, take action, and stay safe. Find out more about flooding here: https://consult.environment-agency.gov.uk/hnl/prepare-respond-recover/

Calling all Clerks!
How are you making sure that you are active during your work day? On average, we spend 60% of our waking hours at work and for many of us, most of this time is spent sitting. Research suggests that sitting for long periods of time is not great for our overall health and wellbeing. To help break up any long periods of sitting, to keep your body moving and your blood pumping, why not try to incorporate some of the exercises from this video into your working day?
Now is the time to prioritise civility and respect and start a culture change in the parish and town council sector. We are introducing the Civility and Respect Pledge because there is no place for bullying, harassment and intimidation within our sector. The pledge is easy for councils to sign up for, enabling them to demonstrate their commitment to addressing poor behaviour across and fostering positive changes that support civil and respectful conduct.
