Coronavirus (Covid-19) - IN NEED OF HELP?
Some residents in Helmdon may feel alone during this time whether due to self-isolation or because they fall into a higher risk category. Helmdon Parish Council would like to help during this time.
We have volunteer help available. You may need assistance such as help with groceries, collecting medicines or other errands such as walking your dog, a chat on the phone or just help with your bins. If you need help, or you know of anyone else who needs help, please contact the Parish Clerk

Works at Water Recycling Centre
The @oneAlliance is continually improving Anglian Water Assets across the region and has now started work on the Helmdon Water Recycling Centre situated off Station Road. The works include increasing storm tank capacity in line with the Environment Agency's recommendations, and a 'P' scheme which assists the plant in breaking down household chemicals commonly used in washing up liquid and washing powder.
The aim is to be on site no longer than 20 weeks for both elements of work and the priority is to avoid disruption. More »
