Letters To Santa

Sooo, I was walking across the green by the Village Hall when I saw something that hadn’t been there yesterday. It hadn’t been there the day before either. I went across to have a look. 

“What’s this?” I said to Snowman.

Snowman didn’t say anything he just waved to somebody I couldn’t see and stared across the car park as if to say, “Nothing to do with me Governor” 

I took a  closer look; on the front in bold letters it said, “Santa’s Post Box”. Underneath in smaller letters it said, “Last Delivery 25th December 12:00”.

Oh! I thought, that’s sounds important especially for any small people in the village. So I rushed home as quickly as I could and set about letting everybody know so that they will be able to bring their letters for Santa in time for the last date for deliveries to the North Pole.

Carol Singing Round The Village

Winter Fields

A quick festive reminder that carol singing round the village will take place next Tuesday 20th December. If you’re taking part then gather at the Village Hall by 6:30. Wrap up warmly and bring your singing voice. If you’re staying in then listen out for us and be ready to give us some Christmas cheer. A donation will be very welcome as all proceeds go to Hope House Children’s Hospice.

This annual event usually raises in excess of £200 for a very good cause so hopefully you will be able to spare some change to help the total along.

Afterwards everybody is welcome at the Village Hall and who knows you may feel you’ve earned a dram or two to take away the winter chill.

Changes To The A529

There were proposals to make changes to the A529 through Adderley Village in order to address the concerns about speeding traffic and safety particularly in the area of Adderley School. We have received an update from Shropshire Council.

Shropshire Highways have advised the Parish Council that:

• In line with the Shropshire Council initiative, the speed limit by Adderley School would be reducing to 20 mph and some street lighting would be installed in this area.

• There would be no further street lighting installed along the A529 through the village as the cost was prohibitive.

• As speed calming measures like speed bumps or chicanes required street lighting these were no longer being considered. 

• In light of the above, no further consultation would be undertaken regarding these street calming measures.

As vehicles speeding through the village is still a concern to the Parish Council and residents, the Clerk will now be liaising with both Shropshire Highways and WSP to see if there were any traffic calming measures that could be introduce which did not require street lights. 

Santa Paid Us A Visit

Santa and Mrs Claus

Well! Santa and Mrs Claus paid Adderley a visit on Friday night. He brought the elves and they looked at the lights and the lovely tree then he came and talked to the children. It was a memorable evening.

This year we had Pizzas from Mortzarella (they were very good) and there were all sorts of things for the children to do in the Village Hall provided by St Peter’s School and Adderley Tots Stay and Play.

The volunteers worked very hard and a lovely time was had by all.

Santa Visits Adderley

Wow, look at these decorations for our tree! Can you do one too?

As you know the Shavington Estate have kindly provided the village with a lovely box of wooden discs (in the Book Shelter) for us to decorate to put on the Tree on the Green.  It doesn’t have to be before Friday, anytime will do,  but if you feel you would like to do one, please pick one up from the Book Shelter and paint a festive pic on it.  Acrylic paints are best if you have some, or varnish over felt pen or watercolour to proctect it from the weather.   We would love it if you could put your name on the back.  Pop some string through the pre-drilled hole and tie it tightly on to the tree so it doesn’t blow off it is windy.

Thankyou.

 

He’s coming on Fridaaaay!!!!!!!!!

Santa and Mrs Claus

Oh my, only 4 days til Santa arrives for his inspection.  Are you ready?  Have you got those lights and decorations out, or at least a few for him to enjoy?  Mrs Claus has been in touch to say she’s told him he’s coming to Adderley and its cheered him up abit, but she still thinks he needs some help in seeing the magic so don’t let him down!   

Don’t forget your red parcel tag filled in with your good deeds and kindnesses.  Bring it with you on Friday night to show Santa (spares in the Book Shelter if you need more) and give them to him after the Switch on on the Green or in the Grotto in the Hall.

Meanwhile, don’t forget to order your pizza in advance from Mortzarella or come and enjoy one on the night freshly made to order from the fabulous pizza van.

Regulation 14 Response Form

Picture of envelopes for Neighbourhood Plan

It sounds horribly formal but it’s not. We’re finally approaching the end of the Neighbourhood Plan process and the aforementioned Regulation 14 is the very last chance to make changes.

We’ve made a shortened version of the main document with all of the new planning rules set out. There are only 12 of them. A copy of the short version has gone to every house in Adderley Parish and we’re asking you to comment on any of the new proposed planning rules that you feel are important to you. That might be one or two of them or all of them but it’s very important that you do comment. If you want to read the full version of the Regulation 14 Neighbourhood Plan there are copies in the book shelter in Rectory Lane or you can download a copy from here: 

You can comment on the enclosed form and put it in the postbox at the book shelter in Rectory Lane or you can post it at the Village Hall. Alternatively you can comment on line using the form that can be found here: 

You have until January 9th to make your comments. If you want to have a look at the full Neighbourhood Plan then we have left copies at the book shelter on Rectory Lane.
