There are exciting times coming up next week, for the Jubilee Park and its volunteers, it would be nice to have the park looking at its best so any help with litter picking would be very much appreciated.
 
On this coming Monday 17th April Pembrokeshire Coast Charitable Trust’s Force of Nature Grant team will be filming in the park as we have secured funding from them for a piece of maintenance equipment. Filming will be taking place in the park from 9am and it would be nice to see some park users walking around and possibly interviewed.
 
On Tuesday 18th April the park is being inspected for Green Flag status which the park has held continuously for the past eight years. Hopefully we can continue our streak.
 
Then on Wednesday 19th April the park volunteers will be attending an award ceremony in Cardiff. They are finalist in a competition run by Keep Wales Tidy for the Natures Heroes Award keep an eye on our social media for updates.

The bar in East Williamston Community Hall will be open every Saturday night of the school summer holidays (starting tonight 16th July).

The play equipment at the Jubilee Park will begin to be updated and maintained from Monday 11th October.  During this time the playground section of the jubilee park will be out of bounds.

Two East Williamston residents have got together to spread a little bit of sunshine in these trying times.

Dai and Jean both residents of the village have supplied each house in East Williamston with a set of four sunflower seeds. They're hoping everyone will keep them updated with pictures of the growing sunflowers. Then in September, there will be a friendly competition to see who has the tallest and shortest plants.

The ever-changing COVID-19 situation continues to put NHS staff and services under huge pressure.

Now more than ever people need to think carefully about where the right place is to seek advice and avoid extra pressure on the NHS this winter.  However, the NHS is still here for you if and when you need it, but the way you access services might be different.
​
We are encouraging people to still attend their hospital appointments when asked to or review their treatment. A range of appropriate measures have been taken in hospitals to keep people safe, including treating people with coronavirus or suspected coronavirus in separate areas to those who do not have the virus to prevent the risk of it spreading.

The NHS is working hard to keep services running while trying to keep you safe. If you are worried about persistent symptoms contact your GP. After being offered a medical appointment please make sure you attend at the scheduled time. It is safe to do so.  Alternatively, you may be offered a video consultation; this is still a full consultation visit but saves you travelling to your local surgery.

As well as making sure you seek help when you need it, the Keep Wales Safe campaign is asking people to use the online symptom checker on the NHS 111 Wales website (111.wales.nhs.uk) or call 111 for advice on where to go to get the right treatment.  By choosing the right service for your needs we can ensure we do not put extra pressure on GPs, Emergency Departments and the emergency ambulance services as they continue to tackle the pandemic.

Did you know that community pharmacies play a key role in helping people, with minor ailments and injuries, get the right medicines and support. Where possible you can assist pharmacists by ordering repeat prescriptions seven days before they are due. Or if you have a minor injury there are clinics that can treat you so you don’t need to go to A&E? Find your closest clinic here

And remember if you have COVID symptoms no matter how mild, please self-isolate and book a test by calling 119 or call 111 if symptoms persist and you can no longer cope at home.

We’re all in this together. Help us help you.
