Community Housing Survey – Last Chance

The response to the Neighbourhood Plan Community Housing Survey (AKA The Big Questions) has been brilliant. If you haven’t either completed the form online (it takes about 30 minutes) or filled in the paper form the last day for submission is Saturday. Postal returns received after that date will still be counted but you need to get it into the post.

This is your opportunity to have your say and shape the future of Adderley Parish and it’s literally a once in fifteen years opportunity. At some point next year you will be asked to vote on the outcome in a referendum and this is your chance to get your point of view into the plan.

Don’t forget you can also be entered into the draw for a £100 grocery voucher – what’s not to like? All responses are confidential and the details you provide for the draw are taken out before the data is analysed.

Adderley Lights Up For Christmas

Christmas Tree

What can we say? We’re excited already and it’s not yet Halloween!!!

We’re going to have a village Christmas Tree! Yes! We know!!!  It’s  almost  too  much. But  there’s  more. A request for as many people as possible to light up their gardens and light up the village.

There’s also a Competition for the under 11’s to design a poster. All submissions will be shown on the website but the winner will have their poster used to publicise the event and it will be posted round the village.

Don’t delay there is only one week to design your poster and get it into the village website. Closing Date for poster entries Wednesday 4th November

Halloween Trail

Because of the Covid-19 restrictions it’s not likely that children will be knocking at the door on October 31st. this means a number of disappointed children. So, Jenny Wrathall has come up with a suggestion for a Halloween Trail.

This simple idea will enable children to keep safe and have some fun in their family bubble.

You are being asked to put out some pumpkin cutouts and / or dress one of your windows in something suitably scary so that the children can walk around the village and have their moment in the dark with some appropriate atmosphere.

You can create window scenes with poster paints, coloured tissue paper or suitably lit props. 

We think this is a great idea and we have already started planning our window display. Contributions of chocolate and sweets direct to parents for later consumption will always be welcome.

Covid-19 In Adderley Parish

You have no doubt heard that there are a number of cases of Covid-19 in Adderley Parish.

Community Housing Survey – Problem Being Fixed

The good news is we’re getting responses to the Housing Survey -Excellent! The more responses we get the better the results will be. Remember your views are vitally important in this.

The bad news, we’ve had a technical hitch over the weekend and some responders have been moved on to the prize draw having only completed the first 20 or so questions.

What are we doing about it? We’re moving quickly. The survey has been closed whilst our providers effect a fix and it should be live again by early afternoon. If your response has been affected, don’t worry we will contact you. As far as we can see it has only affected two or three people but investigations will tell us more.

If you’re not keen on answering online don’t worry you can fill in the paper form and just drop it into a letter box and it will be counted. 

Don’t forget you have a chance to win £100 of groceries in the prize draw just complete the form at the end of the survey or the one included in the envelope. Remember your responses are anonymous and your views of very important to the neighbourhood plan so keep on sending in the forms or filling in the online survey.

Remember: your views are crucial to the success of the plan.

The Big Questions

At some point in the next week every household in Adderley Parish will be receiving a letter from the Three Parishes Neighbourhood Plan. Please read and respond its contents are very important.

 The letter will explain what we are trying to achieve with the Neighbourhood Plan and it will ask you to complete a questionnaire. We understand that it’s a long questionnaire, there are 56 questions,  but these questions cover what you want Adderley to become in the intervening years until 2036. Your views and the views of your family will inform the Neighbourhood Plan alongside evidence from the presentations that we have done plus all of the statistical evidence together with the  views of everybody from the Canals and Waterways Trust, Historic England and Shropshire Council to Land Agents. Your views are particularly important.

You will have until the end of October to complete the form and there is a pre paid envelope for you to return it to The Shropshire Rural Community Charity who are undertaking the analysis for us. Alternatively you can complete the form online and the web link to enable you to do this will be posted on the website in the next couple of days.

As an incentive you have the option of being included in a draw to win a £100 shopping voucher. there will be one voucher for each of the parishes so you’re in with a chance.

The Neighbourhood Plan, when it is adopted, carries the force of law in planning matters and so it is vital that as many people in the parish complete the questionnaire. Look out for the letter, it’s clearly marked and it should be dropping through letterboxes soon.

The survey is completely anonymous. Any personal details you provide for the draw will be separated out and any information you provide will be only kept for the duration of the survey and draw then it will be destroyed.

The Playground Is Open

Village Hal

Good News! The playground is finally open. There are, however some new rules for its use because of the strange times in which we live. 

We would ask that you comply with the rules for the safety of yourselves and your children. Unfortunately if people cannot work within the rules the Parish Council will be forced to close the playground again.

The usual T’s and C’s apply still just as they have always done and there is an appeal to common sense so that only children under 11 use the equipment and that you respect the neighbours and keep the noise to an acceptable level.

The new rules are printed out on signs around the playground.

We have replaced the chains on the swings and released the rocker on the balance bar so all now is in good order.

Please no dogs in the playground and put your rubbish in the bin provided.

Many thanks and enjoy.
