Coffee morning this Saturday 28th June. £3 gets you yummy cake plus tea or coffee. Great conversation, great people; what’s not to like? 10:30 to 12:00 see you there.
Seen on the canal this week, a man and his dog paddling along. Great balance!
Please see attached notices of nominations for Adderley Parish Councillors and Shropshire Unitary Council for this area in the local elections on 1st May 2025
We have just been informed that some people living people within the Adderley Parish may not have received their questionnaire.
Many were delivered by hand, but those that were posted were all taken to the Post Office at Loggerheads on 7th March where they were measured and weighed to ensure correct postage. Despite being double checked and assured that the postage was correct it now appears that some letters may not have arrived.
Even more annoying is that we have only just been made aware as the “short payment notification” was only issued on 26th March.
Needless to say, there will be a very interesting conversation with the Post Office tomorrow morning!
WHAT TO DO NEXT
If you, or somebody you know in the Adderley Parish, have not received a questionnaire please use the QR code below to access and complete. We will leave the survey open for a few days to allow this to happen.
We will try to resolve everything with the sorting office and post office tomorrow to ensure that a surcharge is not paid by the residents concerned.
We are very sorry about this, and apologise for the inconvenience, but can assure you that all steps were taken to ensure that the correct postage was paid.
We’re gathering feedback from the community on formal proposals to improve Adderley Village Hall.
Your input is essential in ensuring they meet the needs of everyone in our community.
Please complete the questionnaire sent to you or complete on line now! The deadline is Saturday 29th March.
