Update on Staffordshire County Council’s jetting of drains/gullies and investigation programme

Update on Staffordshire County Council’s jetting of drains/gullies and investigation programme over the next few weeks in the village.
You may have already noticed that gulley crews are in the village this week. They commenced the cleaning of the drains on Church Road up to the new bus shelter opposite Hall Road junction. The remaining drains past the new bus shelter up to the Cemetery, will require traffic controls for safety reasons as they are outside of the 30 mph speed restriction. The same safety requirement applies to those on Rolleston Lane and Cornmill Lane. Other areas in the village are planned in and we are being kept updated on progress via our County Councillor Philip White.
It has also been confirmed that the programme includes the requested scheduled camera investigation survey of drains at the junction of Anslow Lane and Burnside. This area currently has standing water collecting at times of heavy rainfall, leading to flooding over the road.
We will endeavour to advise of the dates for different areas in advance if we are able to. If possible it would be most helpful and much appreciated by the crews if parking over the drains could be avoided when the crews are in the respective areas please.

Update on Craythorne Field – gate repairs completed

Craythorne Playing Field car park is fully open and the repairs to the gate leading from the road to the carpark are completed. We would like to thank our council contractor for all their work on such a hot day completing this work and reinstating the gate and the replacement gate post (for the one which was sawn off.)
After the clean up morning on Saturday the playing field was rolled to remove as much damage as possible, the grass was cut on Monday and so it is back in use. The area behind the shipping containers was promptly cleaned by ESBC on Monday morning.
We hope residents are now able to enjoy having the field and surrounding areas back again for playing games, walking and visiting the playparks in this glorious weather.

Update on Craythorne Playing Field traveller incident

A huge thank you to all those who were able to help this morning and cleared the field, the play areas, the ditches and the woods of all the rubbish left behind as well as the very quantities of branches and hedge clippings etc.
The car park and field are fully open for you to visit and enjoy. We would ask you to avoid the area behind the shipping containers on health and safety grounds until this has been cleaned.
The playing field has had the worst of its damaged areas on some of the pitches filled in and will be rolled over the weekend on Sunday so that use by Rolleston and other football Clubs may resume next week.
The Parish Council would like to thank all residents for their ongoing patience whilst we continue with restoration and required repairs.
In addition we thank all those at Staffordshire County Council Legal department, East Staffs Borough Council, Staffordshire Police, our MP Kate Kniveton, our County Councillor Philip White, our Ward Councillor Russell Lock and our council contractor who have helped us to deal with this very challenging, disruptive and unpleasant incident.
