Newsletter February 2023

The PC met on the 10th of January, a little later than usual due to the Christmas holidays.

We had a record number of public attendance due to a contentious planning application which was for up to 56 houses opposite Bridge Close.

To which the council unanimously recommended refusal.

It would be nice to see more attendance at the meetings and hear your points of view and you’ll have the opportunity to observe how we conduct council business.

We have now filled the vacancies for councillors and have full capacity of 9 members.

Welcome to Councillor Murray Stewart, who some of you may know has already sat as a councillor and chair and has a thorough knowledge of a working council, and to

Councillor Peter Bradshaw who brings a wealth of knowledge having sat as a District Councillor for many years.

Both councillors I’m sure will be an asset in taking the council forward. They will be appointed to committees at the next full council meeting.

There are still ways to be involved in the Parish, just recently we conducted a very successful litter pick in Leighton Lane which has now resulted in the Industrial estate going to take more effort into its upkeep. More Litter picks to follow. If you see an area that would benefit, then please let us know. Also, if you witness any wilful littering or vandalism then please inform the police also.

Thank you

Chair. Lesley Parham
