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.
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!
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.
More information is available on the Shropshire Council website at
www.shropshire.gov.uk/gardenwaste.

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.
