Construction Management Plan – Update

At the recent public meeting with Bellway it was agreed that there would be a follow on meeting with County, Highways, ESBC and Bellway at which the PC would be invited. The meeting took place on Tue 28th and the PC were well represented. The views from the village expressed at the public meeting were carried into the discussion and all parties became well acquainted with the challenges that the CMP still needs to address. The meeting was very constructive from all sides and a number of actions arose, including a re-survey of Walford and Fairfield by Highways, which will now be pursued.

No final decisions were taken and there will be a follow on meeting before that point is reached. The PC will again be represented at that meeting and keep everyone updated on progress.

Notice to dog walkers

East Staffordshire Borough Council enforcement officers have been in and around the village recently and produced the following disturbing report. Whilst the Parish Council acknowledges that the majority of dog owners dispose of litter responsibly, this kind of behaviour from a minority is unacceptable. Please report offenders to the number below.

Disposing of a dog bag in the bushes is a Littering offence. Our officers have recently cleared 116 bags just from the Jinny Trail, Rolleston. Contact us on 01283 508036 if you know who the culprits are.

Neighbourhood Development Plan Update

It has come to our attention that the draft neighbourhood plan May 2018 version requires some further consultation with statutory consultees.  As such, to ensure we are still compliant with the regulations, we shall be re-running Regulation 14 in June 2018.

We are withdrawing this current version for amendment and Regulation 14 on this version is closed.

The Parish Council would like to thank all those who have taken the time and effort to make comments and these will be fully considered in due course.
