Ooooops! we had a little bit of a technical hitch! Many thanks to those who spotted it and highlighted the problem to us. Sorted now and the information about the road closure next week is live and accessible.
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.

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:
Adderleyparish is moving! For the last 10 years the parish website has been hosted by a wonderful organisation called 34SP.com. They’re based in Manchester and they have an excellent support desk which has looked after us. However, for historical reasons the actual domain, adderleyparish.co.uk has been hosted by 123-Reg. While 123-Reg have been very good it has meant that billing has been a little more complicated.
Sooooo we’re moving our domain from 123-Reg to 34SP.com. As there are going to be a few organisational changes over the next few months which means different people doing different things behind the scenes then this simplification will make life easier by bringing everything under one hosting company.
Why are we telling you this? Well if all goes to plan then you shouldn’t notice any difference and you will be able to access our news and information plus receive notifications for those of you who subscribe to updates just as before. The transfer process takes 5 – 7 days so if you notice things aren’t working as they should by all means let us know but hopefully in a week’s time we will have successfully completed the changes.
Fingers crossed.
