The leaflet explains:

What it is and how to identify it

Why it is a problem

The Law relating to controlling and disposing of Japanese knotweed

How to get rid of it if you have it on your property

Plus sources of further information and advice

 

Congratulations to two residents, Olly Walker and John Lineham in passing a professional pesticides course that qualifies them to treat Japenese Knotweed.  In return they have both offered some voluntary hours to treat Japanesse Knotweed in our community through the most effective means - by stem injection.  

 

NOW is an ideal time to tackle Japanese knotweed and we have some volunteer hours available to the community.  Check your gardens.  If you would like some advice about Japanese Knotweed on your property, or may be interested in taking up the offer of assistance with treating it (for a small donation) please get in touch, my contact details are below.  

 

Ceredigion County Council have kindly helped us with this leaflet and its printing.  Some of you may have had a copy posted through your door last week if you are in the locality of known areas of Japanese Knotweed, it doesn't mean to say you have the plant.  If you don't need the leaflet and you received one - please pass it on, also please feel free to share this email and leaflet with anyone you think may find it useful.

 

Many thanks

Something to celebrate! Our Community Emergency Plan won an award today!

All down to ​you, ​the community, the 53 community wardens, Borth Community Councillors, RNLI, Coastguard, Ceredigion County Council and Natural Resources Wales working together in partnership to develop the plan and use it in an emergency. It has made a real difference in our community and it's great to have won an award that helps share good practice.

Borth Community Council entered the Community Emergency Plan into the One Voice Wales Innovative Practice Annual Award for Best Community Engagement Initiative, we came first in Wales for this category and brought home a glass trophy!

Thank you very much to all involved in the Community Emergency Plan. We'd love to have more Community Wardens- let us know if you'd like to know more.

'Dog friendly' areas and 'No dogs' parts of the beach in Borth & Ynyslas.
Just a reminder to all that dogs are not allowed on the beach between the cliffs and the northern point of Borth village from 1st May until 30th September.
Dogs on the beach where we can an order in place could impact on our blue flag status. 
Dogs are very welcome on the beach from the YHA/ Golf course all the way North to Ynyslas and the National Nature Reserve.

Do please pick up dog mess and dispose of it in litter bins.

 

 

 

 

 

It would be a big help if we had more people willing to help with such speed awareness activity.  If you might be interested, or someone you know might be, do please get in touch.  It does take a while to be authorised so its worth starting the process even if its for a later date.  You would always be one of three people at any time and there is no follow up action needed, we just need someone to hold the speed radar, another person to verify the results immediately and a person to write the details down, its very straight forward.  You wouldn't be obliged to come every time either, the more we have the more of a rotation between people is possible.

Many thanks
Jill
