The Calor Rural Community Fund

Rural communities off the mains gas grid can now submit their projects for funding, with previous winners including playground and village hall refurbishments, instruments for music banks and equipment for sports clubs.

Now, Calor is encouraging anyone who thinks their project may be eligible to come forward and submit an application for consideration to this year’s fund.

Heritage Lanterns

The heritage lanterns have been delayed as there is only a handful of manufacturers in the country and components are in short supply. Standard LED lanterns have been installed in the meantime, and the heritage lanterns will be installed upon receipt from the luminaire manufacturer.

If there are any problems/queries with streetlights, please advise Julie Haire, Parish Clerk on clerk.beningtonpc@yahoo.co.uk with full details.

Benington Defibrillators
Alarmed Outdoor AED Cabinet

This defibrillator cabinet is specially designed for outdoor use. It provides protection from dust, rain, cold, rust and moisture. The cabinet is temperature regulated and contains a heating and fan system to provide protection of the AED unit.

The cabinet is made of a clear anti-UV treated polycarbonate cover and ABS frame providing durable, shock resistant protection for the AED. It has an audible alarm and flashing red LED light when the cabinet is open.

The cabinet has a built in heating and fan system. The heating allows the AED to be stored in extreme cold conditions while the fan system allows heat to be extracted from the AED compartment when the weather is warm.

The sensor automatically activates a white light to help identification of the cabinet in low ambient light.

• Essentially the white flashing helps people to locate the defibrillator
  
  
• It flashes red if the case is opened and a siren also sounds to alert people so the first responder gets additional people to help

Duck food machine at the village pond

Unfortunately, it has been necessary to remove the duck food dispenser at the village pond.

There have been repeated problems with condensation forming inside the dispenser, causing the food to become damp and block up the machine. This resulted in people putting money in the machine, but no food being dispensed.

The Parish Council will look to see if there are any alternative solutions.
