Community Minded Volunteers Sought

Would you like to be a Community Warden or a Local Highway Inspector For Horley?

Oxfordshire County Council wish to attract volunteers to assist with two areas of work in their local communities.

A Community Warden will aim to help elderly or vulnerable people in our communities, and generally anyone who needs assistance.  There is a focus on fire safety, and ensuring people are able to get the appropriate help if things go wrong, such as in the event of severe weather, power cuts, or other emergencies. Appropriate training will be given. See Details below or contact grahame.mitchell@oxfordshire.gov.uk.

A Local Highway Inspector will report problems arising such as potholes, so that repairs can be arranged speedily.  Again, appropriate training will be provided.  If anyone is interested in this role, contact the Parish Clerk, David Marriott, at horleyparishclerk@btinternet.com, or on 07872 930030, he will pass on their contact details to the County Council.
