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.

Our Claire is on the radio toooooooo-night!

It’s Adderley on air!

Oh yes! Our local Hula Hoop hero has been invited to appear on Red Shift Radio between 8:00 and 9:00 tonight Monday 5th Feb – yup! Tonight. The programme is called The Good Life presented by Caz Aspinall and Sally Oakes.

You can tune in on line at: www.redshiftonline.org 

You can get the Tunein app http://tunein.com 

Or if you’re really with it you can ask your Smart Speaker to “play RedShift Radio” (You couldn’t do that when I was a young ‘un!) In fact when I was a young ‘un we’d still be waiting for the valves to warm up!

You can interact! using their Facebook page, Twitter stream, by text or email during the show.

We Are Counting Down to Carols round the Village

Picture of Victorian Christmas

Only three days to go! You should have had your leaflet and hopefully you will be listening and looking out for the village carollers Friday night. Have lots of change at the ready and be prepared to give generously to our annual gift to Hope House Children’s Hospice.

For those of you who will be giving of your voices we gather at the Village Hall at 6:30. From there we will go to St Peter’s Close followed by:

  • Station Road
  • Green Bank
  • Rectory Lane down the hill
  • Rectory Lane up the hill
  • Meadow Bank
  • The Houses on the front
  • Corbett Drive
  • Back to the Village Hall

We can’t stop at every house so we will try and pick a spot to suit as many people as possible. Volunteers to carry buckets and knock on doors should make yourselves known on the night.

The Biggest, at least height wise, was Harry’s 5’2” snowman

The Smallest, with the most details, was The Dutton’s gymnast

The most unusual was tied between The Smale’s and Jos Parsons’ (Sorry guys we couldn’t split them so share the honours)

Honourable mentions to Diana Rosie and Val Nash.

We hope everybody enjoyed themselves.
