Free Christmas Dinner

Neil Penny of Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group writes

Dear all,
 

During a recent meeting with a representative from the Cedar Trust, Natalie Bonner, she mentioned an offer she has made in previous years linked to the Bisto Spare Chair Sunday initiative. Here is the link.

Natalie said she is offering a free Christmas Dinner to any older person who will otherwise be eating their lunch on Christmas Day on their own. This seems a great offer for people who are potentially facing Christmas Day on their own to have a nutritious meal and some company with people of a similar age. She has offered this in previous years but had no response.


I am sure there must be people you come across in the village who may be interested in this. The nearest Cedar Trust homes to Maisemore are Redlands Acre Care Home, 35 Tewkesbury Road, Gloucester GL2 9BD Telephone: 01452 507248 and The Grange Nursing & Care Home, Grange Rd, Northway, Tewkesbury GL20 8HZ Telephone: 01684 850111.


If you think there are people who would benefit from this and would like to take up the offer, or if you have any further questions, please contact Natalie at Natalie.bonner@cedartrust.co.uk.


Thanks and Regards


Neil

Funeral of Canon John Evans

Jeremy Chamberlayne writes:
 
We felt there would be residents who would want to know that the funeral for Canon John Evans is on Saturday, 16th. December, at 11.30, at Staunton Church.

John was a much loved Vicar of our group of Churches and was a popular priest at many wedding and funeral services. His wife, Jane, is still the organiser for Maisemore Friendship Club.

Agenda for special meeting on 60-house planning application

The agenda for next week's special Parish Council meeting has been published - here.

The meeting will be in the main hall of Maisemore Village Hall at 7.30pm on Wednesday 13th December.

The meeting is only to consider the outline planning application for 60 new houses on the field alongside Bell House Farm Old Road Maisemore Gloucester Gloucestershire GL2 8HT.  Details of the application can be found on the Tewkesbury Borough Council website here.

The meeting will start with a public participation section, when residents can tell councillors about their views on this application.  In order to keep the meeting to within a reasonable time, speakers are asked to be as concise as possible.  Each speaker may speak only once and must not speak for more than 3 minutes.

Following the public participation section, councillors will consider what points should be included in their representation to Tewkesbury Borough Council.  Members of the public may remain in the hall for this discussion but may not take part in it.
