More than 60 Somerford Keynes and Lower Mill households have already signed up for our community scheme to bulk purchase solar panels for their homes. Installing solar panels should cut our energy bills as well as cutting Co2. By purchasing together we can make the process both cheaper and simpler. If you haven’t already signed up, and would be interested in joining us, then please visit the Thames Head Energy website for more information.
The Village Hall outside wall, together with the Phone Box on the main street, hosts the village AED Defibrillators.
To use it call 999 for an ambulance and follow their instructions. Do keep the phone number of willing neighbours near to hand. The ambulance service can call them to fetch the AED while you do CPR.
Somerford Keynes - Platinum Jubilee Lisa
Villagers enjoyed a wonderful weekend, celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with a variety of activities. Thank you to all who helped with the organisation and set-up – and also to those who took part!
Villagers have been asked to keep an eye out for honeybee swarms as the warm weather continues. A local gentlemen has a spare apiary with a couple of empty hives ready for any swarms that appear.
If anyone sees a swarm or has one in the garden feel free to contact via message or call James Buse on 07551387487
We had a great turn out and collected litter from around the village in hedges and verges. Our volunteers did a fantastic job and even managed to find 2 tyres in a hedgerow !! Thanks to everyone who made the morning a success.
