Coronavirus outbreak
Piddington Coronavirus Support Network
A group of Piddington residents, with the support of the Parish Council, have come together to organise a community support network during these difficult times. It’s aim - to ensure that nobody in our community is left feeling isolated, or without support.
GIVE SUPPORT
We are aware that villagers are already looking out for and helping their neighbours. This project is no different, but will hopefully reach everyone in the Parish. Would you like to help? We will be setting up a Piddington Support WhatsApp Group for people who would like to be involved. If you would like to give your support, please contact either Ann or Francesca (see below) who are acting as co-ordinators, and your details will be added to the group. Please include your mobile phone number.
As the situation moves on the things we can do to help our neighbours will alter but obvious things include: picking up shopping and medication, posting mail, dog walking, topping up an electric or gas key, arranging deliveries and helping to organise urgent supplies if needed. Most importantly we can be a friendly voice at the end of the phone.
The WhatsApp Group will also be an important means of communication and of sharing information.

FRANCESCA DARBY: email francesca.darby@btinternet.com or phone 01844 238294
NEED SUPPORT?
If you would like to speak to us, or want to ask for help please contact either Ann or Francesca (details below). They in turn will liaise with the WhatsApp group to co-ordinate support. We will get more idea of what support is needed as we go on. The main thing is that we do not want anyone in Piddington to feel alone or isolated. This is a great community with amazing people living in it.

In search of Aster N.A. 'Piddington Purple'
Matt Killick grew up in Brill and is interested in conserving old varieties of plants. One of these is a Michaelmas Daisy, Aster Novae 'Piddington Purple', which is local to this area. Whilst he has no photographs a local nursery plant catalogue from 1997 describes the plant as a semi-double flower of rich purple, growing to 4ft. If you can help Matt with his search, please email him.
