Senior Estates and Grounds Person

The Council are pleased to announce that our estates and grounds person, Stefan Ziolkowski, has been promoted to senior estates and grounds person.

Stefan has been an invaluable member of the team since he started working for Wendover Parish Council in October 2017. He is hardworking and dedicated to ensuring Wendover is a beautiful place to live, work and visit.

The Council believes that the passion Stefan has for his job will continue to increase in this new position, where he will be assisting the Council with projects to maintain and enhance Wendover’s open spaces and amenities.

Ivy Volunteers Needed

Are you looking for a new project this year? Or do you want to get out more and meet new people?

You can join the group of ivy volunteers that have been working hard over the past year by cutting ivy at the base of trees. The Tree Safety Report commissioned by Wendover Parish Council recommended doing this work to safeguard the trees. Doing this also protects trees from the ‘sail effect’ where heavy growth of ivy makes trees vulnerable to damage in strong wind; ivy prevents photosynthesis which weakens the trees.

If you think you might like to help with this work, why not come along for a session and see if this is for you? The volunteers meet at the Clock Tower at 10:30am on the 1st and 3rd Mondays each month. Equipment and protective gear are provided.

If you’d like any more information on this please contact estates@wendover-pc.gov.uk
