£150 energy rebate update
We are continuing to pay the £150 energy rebate to
residents who pay their council tax by direct debit.
So far we've paid out over £12.8million to 85,438
households in Wiltshire and we'll be making payments to
a further 18,000 households that pay by direct debit next
week.
If you don't pay your council tax by direct debit, you'll
receive a letter in the post next month explaining how you
can claim the energy rebate.

The Ukrainian Refugee Crisis
You may or may not be aware that as a result of the Government
scheme to host Ukrainian refugees there are currently eight
families in Burbage who have offered accommodation. It became
obvious at the start that most of prospective hosts were unaware
of each other but following a post on the Burbage Notice Board
Facebook page the Burbage Ukraine Network (BUN) was created,
this is a support network currently consisting of the host
families.The support starts at the pre-arrival stage ( matching ,
visas etc ) , goes through the Arrival stage ( transport, money,
doctors etc ) and onto the Post arrival stage ( joining in the
community , finding work etc)
Matching hosts with refugees is taking time. There are, however, two groups matched and good
progress is being made with the application process. It is hoped that some refugees will arrive in the
village in the near future.
If you or someone you know in the village has put themselves forward as host and would like to join
the network please ask them to get in touch with Tony Walker ( tony.g.walker@btinternet.com) or 01672

Solar together Wiltshire
Wiltshire Council is working with independent experts iChoosr and
Swindon Borough Council to give homeowners the opportunity to invest
in renewables through a group-buying scheme for solar panels and
battery storage.
This is a group-buying scheme which will offer solar panels with
optional battery storage and EV charge points, as well as offering
battery storage for residents who have already invested in solar panels
and are looking to get more from the renewable energy they generate,
as well as increase their independence from the grid.
Given the current cost of living, significantly impacted by the surge in
energy prices, we feel this scheme will be worth consideration from
eligible households and help provide longer term savings.
Good news. For the first time in a good many years we have a full council.
At the parish council meeting on the 5th May Kelly and Thomas Earle were co-opted onto the council after
volunteering to take the Parish forward. This means the council has its full compliment of 11 councillors.
Thomas will be focusing issues environmental and Kelly is currently revamping the website.
The bus shelter is now fully operational.
The bus shelter at the corner of Everleigh and Tidworth roads is now
fully installed, operational and infact being used.
This project was head by Sean Batley for which are very grateful as it
was a big project.
It should really come into its own in the Autumn or even sooner if we
have a bad summer.
