Thank you to everybody who came along to the exhibition. On the day we had over 70 forms returned. Thank you.
If you missed the fascinating exhibition on the historic development of your village, recently discovered after extensive research, you can see it here:
Conservation Area
Let the Parish Council know what you think about the suggested Conservation Area by the end of Monday 8th of November. Members will consider the responses and the next steps at our November Parish Council meeting.
PARISH COUNCIL VACANCIES
The parish council has now filled all vacant seats following the May 2021 election. If any councillor ceases to continue in his or her office for whatever reason before the next election in May 2025, then a casual vacancy will arise and details will be publicised on this website, on the noticeboard at the village hall and through Shropshire Council. Whilst there are currently no vacancies, members of the public are always welcome to attend council meetings to listen to the business being discussed and speak if they wish to on any items on the agenda during a special public session item.
