News from the November Parish Council meeting

Now that the Parish Council meetings are being held online, various residents have watched recent meetings from the comfort of their own homes and have spoken at Open Forum about issues in the village. If you’d like to comment or just observe, the link to the next meeting on December 14^th will be on the agenda on our website, and villagers are welcome to join.

During the November meeting a resident attended to comment on the state of Brickhouse Lane. One of the organisers of help for residents during lockdown spoke about how the volunteers can assist and said that leaflets would be delivered around the village giving contact details for those who need help with deliveries or just a friendly word.

During the meeting matters such as local planning applications, playground maintenance, a plan to install a canoe platform on the River Tame, and planting of saplings at the Sportsfield were discussed. Details of a Christmas Lights switch on event for residents were given, and the Parish Council agreed to assist with co-ordinating this.  An update was given on the traffic concerns raised at the last meeting, matters had now improved and a meeting would be arranged with the farm.

Councillors raised further issues including an on-going issue about dog waste on the grass at The Avenue, due to a few owners who did not clear up after their pets.
