Be tick aware
It is that time of year again with the lengthening evenings and warmer weather when we are tempted to don our shorts and go for a good walk on Half Moon or Canada Common.
Although ticks can be active all year round in long grass, bracken, heather, woodland and hedgerows especially where deer and livestock are present they are more prevalent during the summer months.
Ticks can carry organisms which may cause physical and neurological illness in humans and animals.
It is sensible to take precautions and be aware of what action to take in the event of being bitten.
Prevention
- Wear long trousers or gaiters tucked into socks
- Use insect repellent
- Check yourself for ticks regularly
Removal
- Wear surgical gloves
- Use a tick-removal tool or fine nosed tweezers
- Disinfect the tick bite
- Wash your hands afterwards
- Make a note of the date and place of the bite
- Contact your GP if you notice a rash or flu-like symptoms
What NOT to use when removing ticks
- Creams/ petroleum jelly/ oils/ spirits/ freezing agent/ powders/ or other substances
- Cigarettes/ matches/ lighter
- Anything that squeezes the body of the tick
(all these methods may cause regurgitation/ back-flow of infective fluids)

Our Planning Process – further information
In our latest Newsletter the Chair provides an update on the planning process adopted by Wellow Parish Council.
Unfortunately, due to a lack of space, a large section of the article had to be cut.
However, the Parish Council is keen that residents are kept informed about what happens at the Parish Council, so we thought it would be helpful to post this additional information on the website.
