Great British Spring Clean

Your Parish Council is hosting the Annual Meeting of the Parish and we invite all residents to join us.

The Annual Meeting of the Parish is a meeting required by law and is called by the Chairman of the Parish Council before the end of May in each year. It is an opportunity for members of the parish to get together and discuss issues of interest and concern with a view to developing an action plan.

Annual Meeting of the Parish 30 April 18

Please see below the proposed routes for the Great British Spring Clean Litter Pick on Saturday 24^th March.

A few pointers to be mindful of:

Safety

• Suitable clothing and footwear MUST be worn
•  We have a limited supply of gloves so if you have a pair please bring along
•  Hi-Viz as above we have a limited number so if you have anything please wear.

Event Info

• As this is a nationally organised event it if key that we litter pick together and bring all bags to one collection point, this is for the purposes of counting etc.
• Many people are offering to litter pick small areas nearby their properties – again as this is an organised event it is very important that we all meet together at the village hall at 09:30 for a safety briefing.
• Zones will be allocated to people – ideally by preference for everyone. If you wish to meet at village hall and then drive to a suitable and safe location near to the litter pick zone please do so.

So to clarify…

• 09:15 – 09:30 – meet @ Village Hall – all participants must attend the safety briefing and equipment collection.
• Suitable clothing and footwear to be worn
•  Zones will be allocated – hopefully each zone will have a minimum team of 4
• Children MUST be supervised at all times and will NOT be permitted on the embankment
• Once your zone is complete, drop rubbish bags off and equipment off at St Barnabas Church Hall (in allocated area) and TEXT Rachael stating Zone number is complete.

Chair of Barnetby Le Wold Parish Council receives Prince Philip Helicopter Rescue Award

On behalf of Barnetby Parish Council we would like to say – Well Done Peter!!! An Excellent Achievement, 

Crew of HM Coastguard Rescue 912 Humberside

In October 2015, ‘Rescue 912’ (R912) was tasked by the ARCC Kinloss to proceed to the Lake District to rendezvous with Langdale and Ambleside Mountain Coastguard Humberside Rescue Teams at Ambleside MRT base.  ARCC reported that a 24 year-old female hill walker had fallen down a 40m rock face located on Langdale Fell and required immediate extraction and transfer to hospital.

R912 proceeded to Morecombe Bay, where a descent to low altitude was conducted.  Due to very low cloud and poor visibility, two unsuccessful attempts were made to enter the hills to the south of the Lake District region.  R912 was forced to proceed to Blackpool in order to refuel.  A third transit attempt was made via Greenodd Sands and Backbarrow, flying at less than 200 ft in only marginal visibility.  Two hours forty minutes after departure, R912 eventually landed safely at Ambleside MRT base.

The crew were promptly informed by the MRT that the casualty had suffered a severe head and spinal injury, a fracture of her right femur and an open fracture below the left knee.  The on-scene weather conditions were reported as only 50m visibility, calm winds and fading light levels.  Given the life-threatening nature of the casualty’s injuries and the likelihood that she would not survive a protracted stretchered walk off the mountain side, the crew courageously elected to proceed with her rescue.

Via Skelwith Bridge and Elterwater, R912 progressed at low speed and very low level towards Langdale Fell, where the aircraft entered cloud and proceeded to hover-taxi up the mountainside, following a small pathway, to the casualty’s location.  R912 arrived on-scene at 16:30. In fading light, the crew successfully accomplished a very challenging stretcher recovery from under an overhang in a confined area with the aircraft rotor tips only metres from the surrounding crags.  This demanded exacting flying skill and crew cooperation of the highest order.

Unable to achieve a safe climb out, the crew were compelled to hover-taxi using night vision aids in deteriorating light levels and low visibility conditions down the mountainside into Great Langdale Valley.  R912 then proceeded to Lake Windermere and climbed to safety altitude for the on-ward transit to Preston, where the casualty was handed over to the care of Royal Preston Hospital.  Following a further refuel at Blackpool, R912 returned safely to Humberside at 19:40, after a six and a half hour rescue operation.Coastguard

The operation had the added dimension of having been filmed for the BBC series ‘Skies Above Britain’ and the fact that the winchman, despite having an extensive background in helicopter operations as a crewman, was at the time relatively new to Search and Rescue operations.  Throughout the rescue, the crew demonstrated the highest levels of professionalism, commitment and dedication to the task and bravery that exceeds expectation and is deserving of recognition by the award of the Prince Philip Helicopter Rescue Award.
