A New Village Hall for Adderley Can You Help?

At the Village Meeting on 30th May 2018 it was decided that rather than refurbish the Village Hall and Bowling Pavilion, we should erect a new combined building on the site of the existing Bowling Pavilion. A Building Sub Group of the Adderley Village Hall Committee was formed from volunteers present on the night.

The Sub Group, under the Chairmanship of Jim Faulkner, is made up of those who have lived in the village for most of their lives as well as newcomers. There is also quite a wide age span and skill set.

First, we have to establish whether Planning Permission may be granted for a new building and if Funding might be available. Do you have expertise in either of these areas? If so, and you would like to help we would love to hear from you.

Contact Jim Faulkner – Email: jimdfaul@gmail.com or Jane Rushton, the Sub Group Secretary – Email: jane.rushton@live.co.uk.

We will publish the minutes of our meetings on this web site

Parish Council’s Response To The West Midlands Police Commissioner

Earlier this year Parish Council’s in the West Midlands were asked to respond to a survey by the Police Commissioner. We are fortunate in that we live in a low crime area however, when crimes do occur we suffer from the low level of resourcing that affects our Police Officers in Market Drayton. The response of the Parish Council is below and it reflects our lack of confidence in levels of policing.

Small black cat run over near Station Road.

Does anyone know who may own a small black cat, quite young, that has just been found run over on the main road opposite Station Road?   It has no collar or ID and appears to be plain black with no other markings.  Sadly it was probably killed instantly.

The young man who found the cat when he drove around the corner has knocked on all doors down Station Road and some of those on Green Bank with no luck.

If you may know who owns this cat please contact Paul and Val Nash who have brought the cat back to their home on Green Bank.

Thank you

We Have Our Own Speed Sign

As of Saturday 17th February Adderley has its own speed sign.

A consequence of the success of the project using the Market Drayton Safety Partnership speed sign and the overwhelmingly favourable response from the Adderley residents; the Parish Council has purchased a speed sign for the village.

The sign reminds passing drivers of their speed and thanks them for keeping to the 30 mph limit. It also records the speed of through traffic so that we can gather data about how the road is being used and how effective the current speed restrictions are.

The A529 is one of the most dangerous roads in Britain and Shropshire Council are in the process of bidding for funding to improve safety. We will use the data to inform decisions about how that money is used in Adderley Parish so as to improve road safety for everybody.

Many thanks to the road safety sub committee of Ian Wilson and Catrina Cornwall (pictured) aided and abetted by SimonCornwall.
