Annual Parish Meeting Highlights – Community Engagement

On Tuesday, 27th May 2025, the Annual Parish Meeting was held at the Village Hall, chaired by Marius Coulon on behalf of the Parish Council. Following the Chairman’s report, representatives from various local groups and organisations; including the Church, the Village Planters group, and the Adderley Heritage Project; provided updates and presentations on their recent activities and ongoing projects. Outgoing Parish Councillors were recognised and thanked and incoming councillor welcomed. Vacancy for two additional councillors remain, if you would like more information regarding becoming a Parish Councillor please contact the Clerk Jane at clerk@adderleyparish.co.uk

 A key part of the evening was a presentation from the Village Hall Committee, who took the opportunity to share the findings of a recent community survey focused on the Future of Adderley Village Hall. Committee member Ken Greetham delivered an informative presentation, covering the history of the hall, its current financial standing, the composition of the current committee, and a detailed 30-minute review of the survey results.

The survey received 70 responses, representing both individuals and households within the parish. It was designed to gather broad and open feedback regarding the Village Hall’s current use, management, and potential future. These insights will serve as critical guidance for the committee and will also be used as supporting evidence for future grant and funding applications.

Following the presentation, attendees had the opportunity to ask questions and share additional feedback in what proved to be a highly constructive discussion. This is just the beginning of a wider consultation process, with further meetings and engagement opportunities planned as the project develops.

The next steps include a meeting with the appointed consultant to assess available funding options. This will lead to the formation of a detailed business plan for the village hall’s future.

To ensure transparency, the committee has made the full survey results publicly available https://results.smartsurvey.co.uk/VcCdVjrQvy6KOb1OJnBRjxOMOW8pTTsY

The Village Hall Committee would like to extend sincere thanks to everyone who attended and contributed to the evening, and to the Parish Council for facilitating the presentation. For those unable to attend, we encourage you to speak with someone who was present to stay informed about the discussions and next steps.

Wow Adderley!

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.

Tomorrow is Referendum Day

This is an appeal to everybody to take 10 minutes out of their day on Thursday to go to the village hall and vote in the referendum . We are hoping for as many people as possible to vote in what is a significant decision for planning laws in the next 10 years.

You are being asked to answer a simple Yes / No question:

The referendum will ask a single question:

‘Do you want Shropshire Council to use the Neighbourhood Plan for Adderley, Moreton Say and Norton in Hales to help it decide planning applications in the neighbourhood area?’

You can read all of the details here:

REFERENDUM

Residents should have received their poll cards in the post this week for the referendum on the neighbourhood plan. July 25th at the Village Hall. The referendum will also take place in Norton In Hales and Moreton Say.

It’s important that you turn out and vote because the neighbourhood plan is an important document for all three communities as it sets out in law the local planning rules for the next 10 years. These rules have been arrived at after consultations with residents over the last 5 years (2 years were taken up with the pandemic). The neighbourhood plan steering group was made up of residents from the three parishes, not just parish councillors, so it’s a plan which comes out of local views. 

The referendum will ask a single question:

‘Do you want Shropshire Council to use the Neighbourhood Plan for Adderley,

Moreton Say and Norton in Hales to help it decide planning applications in the

neighbourhood area?’

You will be asked to answer YES or NO it’s as simple as that. 

We hope that as many people as possible will turn out on the 25th and vote on this important issue.

3PNP The Big Questions – Some Answers!

We’re starting to get the results of The Big Questions survey which is part of the Three Parishes Neighbourhood Plan. We managed to get a 20% response to the survey which, considering that we were in lockdown, wasn’t bad.

The results from the data collected can be read by clicking on the link below. There will be more information up and coming when we have finished working our way through the many dozens of comments that came from people who completed the questionnaire. Those will be available very soon.

What’s Occurrin’ Adderley?

View of the village banner

The Three Parishes Neighbourhood Plan that’s what! Back last summer when we had our last Village Meeting we went through the initial results of the open forums and we said then that there would be a relatively quiet period whilst we undertook some data gathering. Well that’s just what we did, and there was a lot of data.

We are about to finalise the big questionnaire which will go to every household in the three parishes. It’s important that we get as many people as possible to fill that in. We will continue to update you as the day for getting the questionaire out to you gets closer but right now we’re looking at the end of March, early April. 

Before then we will be giving you regular updates via the village Facebook Page and the Parish website. We will also be having a village meeting to update you on the Neighbourhood Plan and developments on the A529 and all of the other things that have engaged the Parish Council over the last twelve months. In the meantime you can keep up to date by going to the Three Parishes Neighbourhood Plan website and while you’re there you can see some of the maps and data that we have been sent by going to the “Documents” tab; it’s all interesting stuff. For those of you who like such things all of the notes of the meetings we have held over the year are published on the “Minutes” tab.

The Three Parishes Neighbourhood Plan website is updated regularly by Geoff in Moreton Say and new updates are flagged on the Adderley Parish website on the right hand side where it says “3 Parishes Neighbourhood Plan” just under the link to our Facebook Page.
