Blooming Lovely

Treeton Parish Council have attached around 80 flower holsters to lamp posts, stretching from the bottom of Mill Lane up Station Road, down Well Lane and to Bole Hill, along Front Street and Wood Lane to the roundabout and all along High Hazel Road.

Julie James, Clerk to Treeton Parish Council said: ‘These were all funded through the precept paid in by parishioners and we hope that they add a ‘feel good factor’ after what has been a very difficult period with the pandemic, and will cheer us all up through the summer as well as making Treeton Bloom’

The Parish Council team have also planted up the miner half wheel and coal tubs, and residents in the village are helping with the watering.

Walkabout at Waverley

The Rother Vale Ward Councillors joined Waverley Community Council on a walkabout of the Waverley estate. They were joined by Duncan Armstrong-Payne from the Harworth Group, who gave a tour of current development and an overview of the exciting new developments to come. These include the Olive Lane shopping area, brand new medical centre, and leisure facilities.

Members of the Community Council raised concerns regarding issues with speeding vehicles in and around Highfield lane, and will be working with the Borough Council to explore possible solutions.

This is a newly-formed group of like-minded people who have come together to improve the profile of the Catcliffe Glass Cone, a listed building.

They will be working closely with the Council and English Heritage to develop activities and projects around the monument.

Next year is the International Year of Glass, and it is hoped that the Cone can be featured in the world-wide celebrations.

Water Safety Days 

We have lots of beautiful stretches of open water in Rotherham for families and young people to enjoy, especially during the hot summer days. However, these stretches of water, although look very inviting can be dangerous and we advised not to enter the water. There could be hidden dangers and strong currents, as well as the risk of sudden cold-water shock, which can be fatal.

South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue is linking up with partners to hold several water safety days. Come along to one of the sessions, meet the experts, and get advice about how to keep yourself and your families safe around open water.

• Friday 23rd  July 2pm - 5pm  at Treeton Dyke. 
• Sunday 1^st August 2pm – 5pm at Rother Valley Country Park
• Sunday 8^th August – 2pm – 5pm  at Ulley Country Park.

What are you thankful for?

Sunday, 4th July was national Thank You Day - a chance for all of us to show our gratitude to the people, businesses and organisations who have supported us throughout the pandemic.

While the day itself has been and gone, we'd like to keep the momentum going. If someone has made a big difference to your life over the last 18 months we'd like to hear from you.

Please drop an email to your neighbourhood coordinator (using the contact details below) with your message of thanks, and we'll share your messages in our Rother Vale News from your Neighbourhood bulletin next month.
