As longer, darker nights
approach and the clocks go back, please take note of our suggested top tips
for staying safe and deterring burglars from targeting your homes this
winter.
1) Don’t make your absence easy for burglars to spot. Put your Lights On to put burglars off. 2) Invest in timer switches; they can be used for lamps, radios & televisions. This makes it look like someone is home. 3) Always check that windows & doors are shut before you go out, and before you go to bed. 4) Have you left anything of value on show inside your house? Move it out of sight from windows. 5) Did you remember to lock your car? Did you leave anything of value on show inside it? Remember to keep your vehicles locked and do not leave any valuables inside. 6) Think about elderly neighbours that may need someone looking out for them. 7) Do trees need to be cut back? If they are overgrown they could be a perfect place for a burglar to hide |

The Island conversation - The Wight We Want
The Isle of Wight Council is starting a major regeneration programme to help create more jobs, better housing, and an even better quality of life for all residents of the Isle of Wight. In order to help inform the priorities for regeneration across the Island we would be extremely grateful if you could take part in our Island conversation, “The Wight We Want” by completing a short survey by 13th October 2017.
https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/the_wight_we_want_survey
The summary
results of this survey will be published and will help confirm the specific
needs of communities in different parts of the Island. This will then be
reflected in the development of a ‘Regeneration strategy for the Isle of
Wight’, to be published in Spring 2018.
As well as this short survey there will be local workshops and focus groups,
held across the Island, over the coming months. These conversations will
help us to understand more about what our residents want to see in place for
future generations of the Island over the next 10 years and beyond.
A “residents panel” is also being set up to both continue this conversation and to engage our community in future research and consultation. If you would like to be involved please provide your contact details at the end of the questionnaire.

Northwood to become a "hedgehog friendly" village
Dear
Northwood residents,
Northwood is home to reclusive creatures that eat our
unwanted pesky slugs, like to swim in our ponds and have been snuffling and
shuffling through our hedgerows for many millions of years. Unfortunately, the
number of hedgehogs has fallen sharply for the third year running in the UK. Indeed,
quite alarmingly in the national situation numbers are reported down to less
than 1m down from over 30m in the 1950s.
Northwood
Parish Council Action
At
our July meeting councillors voted to join and support the work of the British
Hedgehog Preservation Society and we are aiming to become the first
"hedgehog friendly" village on the Isle of Wight, and one of the
first in the UK.
Councillors
would welcome public support with this campaign. It is an ongoing commitment
and the Parish Council are looking to organise events within the Parish to live
up to our aim for Northwood to attain "hedgehog friendly" status. What
residents can do to help in the meantime isn't such a prickly issue.
6
Quick Tips to Help a Hedgehog
1. Hedgehog highways: 15cm x 15cm gaps in hedges and walls to aid hedgehogs,
which roam 1-2km each night.
2. A wild corner in your
garden: leave a corner of your
garden uncut and add a log pile to it for good measure.
3. Pond exits: hedgehogs indulge in pond dips but need a slope on the
edge to be able to exit or risk drowning.
4. Kick your slug pellets: are toxic and along with chemical lawn treatments which
kill worms and other insects aren't necessary in a well managed garden.
5. Keep down garden litter: polystyrene cups, plastic litter and elastic bands are
all common offenders of injuring hedgehogs when left under hedges in gardens
and drives.
6. Food and water: provide meaty cat or dog food, hedgehog food and chopped
unsalted peanuts with water only, particularly in dry weather
For
more information please visit the British Hedgehog Preservation Society website
or contact me, Cllr William Bossman on 294944 or email wdbossman@gmail.com
The
Parish Council meeting on 5 September will hopefully host our guest hedgehog
aficionado so do please come along with your questions, stories and find out
more on how you can help us get involved in making Northwood "hedgehog
friendly".
This
is our Parish taking the lead on an issue close to the hearts of many. Please
contact us with details of any action you take. Your councillors would love to
know.

Rotten Rubbish Recycling Rascals
Isle of Wight Council
Press
Release

Release
No: PR 15918

03 July 2017

ROTTEN RECYCLING RASCALS
Are you one of our rotten
recycling rascals, putting the wrong thing in wrong bin or gull sack?
The Isle of Wight Council is asking for your help in improving the quality of recycling on the kerbside and is launching a social media campaign to support you in making sure the right things are put in the right bin/ gull sack. This will support the resident’s information booklet that went out earlier this year, which has advice and information about your recycling collection.
Raising recycling quality by cutting contamination levels in recycling receptacles collected at the kerbside can generate valuable benefits, not just for local authorities but for us all, as ratepayers too.
Incorrect (i.e. non-recyclable or non-targeted) materials included in boxes, sacks or bins set out by householders for recycling results in:
• an increase in collection, sorting and reprocessing costs;
• a reduction in the quality and quantity of materials destined for recycling; and
• lower revenues for local authorities to use on essential services, as a result of paying increased landfill charges to dispose of contaminated recycling.
Recent examples of non-recyclable items to be found in green bins/ gull sacks on the Island include oil cans, paint tins, black bags of rubbish, veg peelings, cushions, duvets, uneaten pizzas and even dead chicks.
Please remember to separate:
• Plastic / Glass / Metals (clean) go into the big green bin, green gull sack or mixed recycling communal bin.
• Paper, magazines and card go into the insert box, blue gull sack or paper/card communal bin.
• Textiles and shoes go into a bag alongside (not in) your recycling bin/bags. Please make sure the items are not in a black bag, as it could be confused for black bag waste.
• Food waste goes in the food caddy.
• Excess recycling will be taken as long as it is separated as above and in clear or white bags / tidy bundles of card alongside your recycling bin/bags. Any excess paper/card must be kept separate from other items. Large amounts of cardboard can be bundled together.
The Isle of Wight Cabinet member for procurement, waste management, special projects and forward planning, Councillor Michael Murwill, said: “Contamination describes items not belonging in the recycling bin/ gull sack. When incorrect items are included in the recycling it can cause a number of problems, including causing a halt in operations at recycling processing plants.
“Unwashed or oily food packaging can contaminate an entire load of recycling, resulting in needing to divert the load to costly landfill. These problems can result in higher processing costs for the Island and an increase in solid waste tonnage.”
Amey manager for the Isle of Wight, Paul Southall, said: “A new bin hanger, which tells homeowners their bin is contaminated is being introduced as part of the contamination campaign and contains images of the most commonly placed wrong items in bins or gull proof sacks, such as food, polystyrene, wood, contaminated food packaging and garden waste, with directions on where they should go.
“Any recycling bin or green gull proof sack found to have items that cannot be collected as part of the recycling service will not be emptied by collection crews."
Recycling correctly is really important as waste has a huge negative impact on the natural environment. Harmful chemicals and greenhouse gasses are released from rubbish in landfill sites as oxygen is unable to break down the waste, even if it is food, when it is buried.
The home recycling collection system can handle only items that can be reliably sold to buyers for use in new products, so as a result, items that can’t easily be processed on existing machinery or things that are contaminated with food or other substances should stay out of your home recycling bin.
The social media campaign will give information how to recycle correctly, what happens to your recycling and why it is so important to make sure you put the ‘right thing in the bin’ and avoid having your recycling bin or green gull proof sack not emptied due to contamination on your collection day.
So keep your eye out for our daily top tips, facts and info on what goes where, why and what happens to your recycling afterwards, over the coming months, beginning in July.

Age UK IW - Home Share Project
Date: 31/05/2017
For immediate release
A new scheme, which opens the door to
housing in exchange for help, has been launched by Age UK Isle of Wight.
Funded by the BIG Lottery, HomeShare offers a creative
solution to crucial challenges facing Islanders of all ages - finding and keeping
a home.
New to the Island, but widely tried and tested elsewhere,
HomeShare is a matchmaking service, designed to bring together householders who
have spare space and sharers trying to navigate costly and under-pressure
housing options.
HomeShare’s aims are twofold - prolonging independent living
in loved homes and known communities for householders aged 50+ and opening the
door to good quality and affordable housing options for sharers.
With thorough checking and careful matching, HomeShare
Co-ordinators broker a mutually
beneficial living arrangement centred on an exchange of accommodation for
practical help with everyday tasks. Sharers also contribute to living
costs.
Age UK Isle of
Wight’s two HomeShare Co-ordinators, Lorraine Lord and Diane Coppell are
working with health and social care colleagues and other Age UK projects, to
recruit and thoroughly screen householders and sharers . Their role is to guide
householders and sharers to arrive at a compatible, lasting and enjoyable
blueprint for living together. This takes account of practicalities,
personalities, lifestyle and routines.
“The potential of
HomeShare here on the Island is obvious and enormous”, said Diane. “Home sharing
could enable householders aged 50+ to
improve their quality of life by gaining help with everyday tasks
to free up leisure time. Equally, it could be that chores around the
home are becoming difficult, and that help from an extra pair of hands would
prolong independent living. It is important to note, though, that the home
sharer cannot provide personal care.
“At the same time, the home offered to a sharer in return
for help, can relieve some of the pressure on scarce housing by providing a
fresh housing option for people needing suitable homes.”
“Established schemes, elsewhere in the UK and overseas, have
shown that every home share is unique”, said Lorraine. “Sharing can, for
instance, suit key workers in health, emergency service and the public sector
roles; students on study placements; workers relocating to the Island and
wanting time to explore before putting down roots; active retired people who
enjoy sharing a home; or people starting over after a life change such as
divorce. More….
“It’s a win-win
arrangement for householder and home sharer. Besides the obvious practical
benefits, HomeShare has potential for friendships across the ages, peace of
mind, affordable accommodation within reasonable reach of work, and better
quality of life for both householder and sharer.
“Because of the careful preparation which goes in to
identifying and establishing a match, HomeShare doesn’t offer an overnight
solution. Obviously, it won’t suit everyone, but making contact with HomeShare
may make it possible to identify other more appropriate sources of help and
advice.”

Care Home Friends - Befriending and Connecting
Would you like to make a difference in the lives of local care home residents?
www.carehomefriends.org.uk
Research shows that care home residents are twice as likely to feel severely lonely as older people living at home. There are about 75 care homes on the Island and over 100 churches. Our vision is to see every care home adopted by a local church, with each church co-ordinating a Care Home Friends project, so that we can raise up an army of trained volunteers to befriend and support care home residents.
All it needs is one person in each church with a heart for older people who can recruit and co-ordinate two or three volunteers. Together we can make an enormous difference in the lives of some of the oldest and frailest members of our community.
