ENERGY EFFICIENT LISTED BUILDINGS WEBINAR – 15 MAY – 9am to 12 noon

This event will be of great interest to people living in Listed Buildings (of which there are many across Widcombe).  It’s about making such homes more energy efficient and will cover a range of subjects. It’s also free!

NORTH PARADE BRIDGE

The bridge in North Parade is due to be closed for six weeks from 20 May for major structural repairs. Although not in Widcombe it will affect access to and from the city centre for everyone, and will probably increase traffic on the Churchill Bridge, and on Rossiter Road through Widcombe.

JOHN CHAMBERS

As you may know John Chambers died recently. Last autumn he was involved with the Widcombe Association in the publication and sale of his book on Church Street. John’s funeral is to be held in the Hilltop Chapel at Haycombe Cemetery on 23 May at 2pm. His wife, Helen Rimmington, has invited anyone in the WA who knew John to attend.

WIDCOMBE ASSOCIATION MAGAZINE

The Summer edition of the magazine will be published on 17 May and will be distributed shortly after that but just a reminder that if you previously received a copy by post you will be able to collect one from Prior Park Garden Centre or various outlets on Widcombe Parade.

Organisers are looking for people to open their doors and demonstrate to others how they’ve made their homes more energy efficient.

Anyone who has modified their home is encouraged to get in touch – from people who have improved their listed properties to those with energy-saving tips when renting more modern flats.

The event is friendly and informative, visitors can learn valuable ways to heat their homes while reducing energy bills.
