Oh dear, Oh Dear. Is it you?

Yes, YOU.  Are you the irresponsible dog owners who walk down  Rectory Lane and let your dog poo outside residents homes?

Such a shame that you feel its ok to live in, or visit our lovely village to walk your dogs, but don’t see the need to pick up after them.   

It is an offence, and if you continue to do this, you will be reported to the dog warden. 

So be a sport, and buy some poo bags and start using them and the dog poo bins around the village.   The bags don’t cost much but they contribute a huge amount to the goodwill dog owners can expect if they respect others in their community. 

 

 

Coffee Morning? So Soon?

We’re with you on this one.  Where did the month go? 

Yes, tomorrow  22nd February is the monthly coffee morning in the village hall.  10.30 – 12 and we promise a warm welcome, delicious cake (rumour has it there will be a whisky slab cake amongst other delicious offerings………) plus good company, great conversation and the standard very warm welcome. 

Whether you are a regular, or thinking of trying us out, we promise you won’t be disappointed.   Bring a neighbour, relative or friend – sometimes its hard to come to something on your own, so if you know someone who may need abit of company please invite them.  

Come on down – it will be lovely to see you!

Important Information From Shropshire Council Re: Avian Influenza

Avian Influenza Poster

Due to the increase in cases across England and the outbreak of Highly

Pathogenic Avian Influenza in Shropshire, APHA has introduced MANDATORY

HOUSING MEASURES in Shropshire from Monday the 27th of January.

This means that all bird keepers in Shropshire must keep their birds

housed until the housing measures are lifted. This applies to poultry

and other birds kept in captivity including chickens, ducks, geese, and

other exotic captive birds.

See more on GOV.UK:

Dog Poo ……. Not a nice subject or a nice thing to step in

Yes, its one of those things that we all hate and sadly one of those things that we are finding around the village again.  So to help those of you that don’t want to accidentally step in it, and to draw the attention of those dog owners who feel its ok not to pick it up, we have started highlighting the offending items with fluorescent paint (see image below).

Its not nice, or neighbourly to not pick it up and it upsets people who take care to clear up after their dog to know that others don’t.  Please carry poo bags when you walk your dog and dispose in the bins provided.  Thank you.  

Village Coffee Morning this Saturday – can you invite someone who may not like to come on their own?

Its always difficult if you have just moved into a village, or if you have just retired and didn’t really have time to get to know people when you were busy working.

If you live near someone who may not be aware of our village coffee mornings, why not just check if they know its on and invite them to come along.  People love to be asked

You might be able to tempt them if you tell them that there is an Apple and Pear Cake, a Carrot Cake, a Cherry and Coconut chocolate slice and a Lemon Drizzle on offer this week.  Something for all tastes we hope as well as good company and a warm welcome.

Hope to see you there!  10.30 Saturday 25th Jan, in the village hall.   

Remembering Adderley Through Oral History

As part of the Adderley Heritage project we are pleased to announce the first of a series of oral histories featuring Adderley residents talking about their life in the Parish. These memories are an important part of the history of the community and keeping a record of how residents viewed events is an important lens on the past.

Number one, featuring Barry Hale, has just been posted on Adderley Heritage, you can view it here:

There will be more to hear in the coming weeks so look out for news here and keep up to date with Adderley Heritage News here:
