John Southworth has kindly taken the time to update our long out of date village welcome pack PDF. You will see it below and also here on the website.

Folks,

Just a reminder that we are meeting up this Friday 3rd December at the Pre-School garden near Station Road in Greenmount at 10am. We will be continuing to do maintenance on the Lines as well as the annual leaf blowing and clearing of the pat from The Hub to Shepherd Street. I have attached a map with postcode of BL8 4BJ.

I hope you can join us, the weather forecast is 7 deg and gentle breeze and drizzle, so for now no reason to cancel.

All the best,

Alistair

Ex-Chairman

Good Morning

Ian George, the Treasurer for our local talking newspaper, Bury Pipeline, is asking for help.

For the last 40 years volunteers at Bury Pipeline have recorded articles from The Bury Times for the blind and partially sighted.

They have recently restarted their recording activities following the pandemic. Unfortunately during this time they have lost some of their volunteers.

They are looking for help on Thursday pm/Fridays am, usually once a month for a couple of hours at Tottington Library ( on a 4 week rota basis). If anyone is interested, please contact Ian,  [email protected] and he can provide more information on the roles they are looking for help with.

I can now confirm that Jean’s funeral will take place on Wednesday 1^st December at Greenmount United Reformed Church commencing at 11:30am.  This will be followed by cremation at Radcliffe crematorium.  I am presently trying to organise a suitable venue for refreshments.

It is intended that a notice will be included in this week’s Bury Times.

I am happy for people to contact me directly, by either phone or e-mail, should they want to make any comments, additional information, etc.

Dear All,

Just to confirm the attendance of Healthwatch Bury at the Cuppa and Chat session this week from 2 – 4pm, to follow up on booster/flu jabs and support residents with any other concerns they may have.

They also have two new surveys that you may be interested in completing:

1. Urgent Care Survey- a short survey for those who have used urgent care services recently.
2. Financial Assessment Survey- a longer survey for those who have had a financial assessment by Bury Council.

I have attached copies of both surveys for you to review. You do not have to be attending Cuppa and Chat, just turn up if you wish to speak to anyone from Healthwatch. You may want to complete the survey attached and drop it off at The Old School Thursday afternoon.

Kind Regards,

Julie Southworth

Dear All,
