Parish councils are the first tier of local government here in Shropshire and provide an important voice for communities. As a parish councillor, you’ll have the opportunity to represent the needs and aspirations of residents, tackle local issues, and work on projects that truly make a difference. From improving community facilities to addressing environmental concerns, councillors are at the forefront of making their communities better places to live, work, and visit.

  • Collaborate with local organisations, councils, and groups to address issues.

You don’t need special qualifications—just a genuine passion for your community and a willingness to learn. Parish councils’ welcome people from diverse backgrounds and experiences. If you care about your community and want to make a difference, you have what it takes to be a councillor.

Being a parish councillor is an incredibly rewarding experience.

Coffee and Easter Chicks Anyone?

Yes there will be cake too of course at the Coffee Morning, but Easter Chicks I hear you say?

We have been asked by one of our lovely cake makers, who is also a volunteer with  Francis House Hospice, if we could help with their wonderful fundraising project by selling knitted Easter chicks at the Coffee Morning.  A quick ask around the Nice Place to Be subscribers brought a unanimous yes so here we are!  More information here 

So just pop an extra bit of cash in your pocket when you come down to the coffee morning next Saturday 29th March 10.30-12 in the village hall, and you could be the proud owner of a chick or two, complete with a creme egg.  Great for your Easter table decoration, or as a lovely gift for the children or grandchildren on Easter Sunday.  

Please bring anyone along who you think might enjoy at chat and a nice piece of cake.  Its always a lovely friendly atmosphere and a warm welcome.  

PS  We would love your views on whether to make our April or May Coffee Morning a Plant Sale or Plant Swap event.  What do you think?  Come and tell us next Saturday.

Oh dear, Oh Dear. Is it you?

Yes, YOU.  Are you the irresponsible dog owners who walk down  Rectory Lane and let your dog poo outside residents homes?

Such a shame that you feel its ok to live in, or visit our lovely village to walk your dogs, but don’t see the need to pick up after them.   

It is an offence, and if you continue to do this, you will be reported to the dog warden. 

So be a sport, and buy some poo bags and start using them and the dog poo bins around the village.   The bags don’t cost much but they contribute a huge amount to the goodwill dog owners can expect if they respect others in their community.
