Newsletter February 2022

February already, and signs of spring are arriving earlier and earlier. Apologies for the late change of date for the PC in January, but from February, it will return to the first Tuesday of the month.

A large number of residents did, however, turn up, and there was a lot of concern this month about the application to relax the noise and dust control conditions put on the aerobic digester at Southwood. The light pollution and odour from the site were also brought up.

The PC agreed with residents that there was no evidence to show relaxing of the rules were necessary. In fact, there is a good argument that they should be tightened. The PC has objected to the proposal in the strongest possible terms.

The Queens jubilee next June was also raised. We are still looking for volunteers to help organise the weekend events, particularly the proposed street party on the Sunday. If you are able help, please contact the clerk, clerk@evercreech-pc.gov.uk, or Helen the vicar, who I know is also keen to get things up and running.

Keep well,

Rob Reed, Evercreech Parish Council
