This week’s Covid Community Update from South Cambridgeshire District Council includes details about how members of the public can volunteer to be stewards at Covid vaccination centres.
All vaccination sites advertise available shifts here and, once you are registered, you will receive alerts via the RVS app, and you will then be able to register for shifts that suit your schedule. This role will require volunteers to commit to at least 2 shifts at a vaccination site each month, with shifts being up to four hours. A DBS is not required for this role, although you will be asked to declare any unspent convictions as part of the application process.
The process to register can be completed in as little as 48 hours, so this is something people can get onboard with fairly quickly and make a tangible difference to the booster programme from as early as next week. Please find out more about the role on the RVS website, where you can also apply.
Melbourn Parish Council is inviting tenders in relation to the refurbishment of The Moor Play Park, Melbourn, SG8 6ED. Please click on image to enlarge.
There is an opportunity for a member of the public to join a working party that Melbourn Parish Council is setting up with the remit to plan the installation of a new Skate Park in the village.
Please see below for a news release from South Cambridgeshire District and Cambridge City Councils. It advises residents that, unfortunately, green bin collections are suspended from Monday.
– Green bin collections are being suspended from Monday (13 December) because of the number of drivers and loaders absent – particularly with Coronavirus or self-isolating.
– After that, green bin collections are planned to resume on Wednesday 12 January 2022 in line with the previously published Christmas schedule.
– Crews are working hard to complete green bin rounds that are scheduled for the rest of this week. The message for the rest of this week is to put your green bin out as normal. If it is not collected on your usual collection day, leave it out, and it will be emptied by the afternoon of Tuesday 14 December.
– During the green bin suspension, the advice for garden waste is to store this in the green bin or in a plie in the garden, or home compost, until collections resume. If necessary, it can be taken to the household recycling centres at Milton or Thriplow.
– As always, residents are being encouraged to waste as little food as possible, so they have less to throw away. For this period only, residents who do have food waste are being asked to put it into the black bin.
– Changes are now being made to update the online bin collection calendar at www.scambs.gov.uk/recycling-and-bins to reflect the suspension of green bin collections.
