Here’s January’s Horningsea Herald.
The editorial team wish you a Happy New Year, even if the year has not got off to a great start for multiple reasons.
There’s an update from the Parish Council about the speeding traffic, with a flyer and a survey for residents (see flyer below)
Fen Ditton Primary School are still looking for donations of laptops/tablets to help students with no access for remote learning.
There is also a possibility of getting voucher funding for faster internet for the village (FTTP).

Horningsea Parish Charities are again putting food in our very own food hub porch at the church. So you can go at any time to help yourself to apples, pears, oranges, carrots, cabbages or whatever else is on the table. The Trustees can be contacted on ldathorningsea @gmail.com
Look after yourselves and one another. Wear a mask, keep your distance, and if you are offered a vaccination, make sure you get it! Let’s look beyond these dark months to a warm and open summer.
Kind regards

Alert – Coronavirus Vaccination Scams
Members of the public who have been sent text messages claiming to be from the NHS, offering them the opportunity to sign up for coronavirus vaccinations. The texts ask the recipient to click on a link which takes them to an online form where they are prompted to input personal and financial details. In some cases the online form has looked very similar to the real NHS website.
Pauline Smith, Head of Action Fraud, said:
“Remember, the vaccine is only available on the NHS and is free of charge. The NHS will never ask you for details about your bank account or to pay for the vaccine. If you receive an email, text message or phone call purporting to be from the NHS and you are asked to provide financial details, this is a scam.”
How to protect yourself:
In the UK, coronavirus vaccinations will only be available via the National Health Services of England, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland. You can be contacted by the NHS, your employer, a local GP surgery or pharmacy, to receive your vaccination. Remember, the vaccinations are free of charge and you will not be asked for a payment.
