If you didn’t manage to get out on Thursday night (it was quite cold) then here are a selection of images of the sky over Adderley. It’s not often we benefit from being in the dark but this was one of those occasions. What a sight!

Garden Waste charges from 1 October
Householders wanting to have their garden waste bins emptied after 1
October 2024 need to subscribe to Shropshire Council’s garden waste
service.
A 12-month subscription costs £56 per bin and will cover the period 1
October to 30 September. Garden waste collections will stop from 1
October 2024 for anyone that hasn’t subscribed by this date.
A payment window will be open until 31 March 2025. To subscribe and for more information about the service people should visit the Shropshire Council website at www.shropshire.gov.uk/gardenwaste.
Anyone unable to subscribe and pay online can call 0345 520 7007.
Those who subscribe to the service will be sent a special sticker to
attach to their garden bin, to show collection crews which bins to
empty.
Food Waste
From 1 October food waste collections will be suspended as councils
cannot charge for this service. Subscribers to the garden waste service
will no longer be able to put food waste in their garden bin.
However, all councils in England must introduce a weekly food waste
collections to all properties from 2026 and Shropshire Council will
introduce a new food waste collection service to all households from
that date.
Take note
Those who don’t subscribe are also asked not to put garden waste in your general waste bin as this is taken to our energy recovery facility, which can’t accept garden waste. General waste bins won’t be emptied if they contain garden waste.
Shropshire Council is facing unprecedented financial pressure. We must make significant savings in 2024/25 to keep a balanced budget and our plans include difficult decisions. We must look at other ways of creating income so that we can protect essential frontline services for those residents most in need.
Though the collection of garden waste is not a service that the council
must by law provide, it is one that we want to continue to provide. And
as not all residents need or want the service we’ll now be providing
this as an opt-in chargeable service to those who need or want it.
Some 80% of English councils already charge for garden waste
collections, and many have been doing so for several years. An annual
green waste subscription charge of £56 is in line with our neighbouring
councils.

Wow Adderley!
Adderley shines yet again. The results of the referendum on the Neighbourhood Plan are in and wow what a result!
The official notification is below but the results are outstanding. While a 22% turnout might not seem a great deal for a Neighbourhood Plan referendum it’s amazing. Well done to Adderley, Moreton Say and Norton In Hales. The 94% in favour means that Shropshire Council should declare the plan “Made” and it becomes law.
A huge thank you to everybody who took time out of their day to vote. A further thank you to all of the people who volunteered their time and braved the pandemic over the years to get to this point.
Tomorrow is Referendum Day
This is an appeal to everybody to take 10 minutes out of their day on Thursday to go to the village hall and vote in the referendum . We are hoping for as many people as possible to vote in what is a significant decision for planning laws in the next 10 years.
You are being asked to answer a simple Yes / No question:
The referendum will ask a single question:
‘Do you want Shropshire Council to use the Neighbourhood Plan for Adderley, Moreton Say and Norton in Hales to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?’
You can read all of the details here:
REFERENDUM
Residents should have received their poll cards in the post this week for the referendum on the neighbourhood plan. July 25th at the Village Hall. The referendum will also take place in Norton In Hales and Moreton Say.
It’s important that you turn out and vote because the neighbourhood plan is an important document for all three communities as it sets out in law the local planning rules for the next 10 years. These rules have been arrived at after consultations with residents over the last 5 years (2 years were taken up with the pandemic). The neighbourhood plan steering group was made up of residents from the three parishes, not just parish councillors, so it’s a plan which comes out of local views.
The referendum will ask a single question:
‘Do you want Shropshire Council to use the Neighbourhood Plan for Adderley,
Moreton Say and Norton in Hales to help it decide planning applications in the
neighbourhood area?’
You will be asked to answer YES or NO it’s as simple as that.
We hope that as many people as possible will turn out on the 25th and vote on this important issue.
