District and County Councillors’ Report Melbourn and Bassingbourn Oil Club: household oil at best prices If your household relies on heating oil, please note that our longstanding Melbourn and Bassingbourn Division Oil Club, working with local oil supplier Agricole Oil, exists to help householders access the best available prices. There is no joining fee and no obligation to make more than one order. Please simply contact Jeremy Cole at Agricole Oil if you'd like to know more about how things work or how to make an order: Jeremy@agricole.co.uk, telephone (01954) 719452. Every year, Agricole Oil gives us a rebate which is based on the volume of orders made and the Oil Club in turn donates this to a community group. Last year the rebate went to Royston and District Community Transport. Susan coordinates the Oil Club. Please feel free get in touch if you have any questions. Drainage Tour of Meldreth Together with Parish Councillor, Pat Gilmore, and our Local Highways Officer, we will be touring the Meldreth drainage network on 3rd November, to identify and troubleshoot hotspots. That said, we know many of the hotspots, and many have been in a long queue for troubleshooting, in spite of many reports and representations! Do please contact us if you’re concerned about any particular area. Difficulties with Water Bills? Are you or do you know someone struggling to pay their water bills because of COVID-19?
