PARISH COUNCIL VACANCIES
There are currently no vacancies on the parish council. The next election will take place in May 2025 when anyone eligible can stand for election. Any vacancies arising before then, due for example to current Members resigning, will be advertised on the parish council website and noticeboard. Members of the public are always very welcome to attend the parish council's monthly meetings, either to simply listen or to speak in the public session part of the meeting about any items on the agenda.
WEST FELTON CONSERVATION AREA
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
The Parish Council considered the research findings and the consultation results at the council's November meeting and was of the view that there was overwhelming evidence and support for a Conservation Area designation. Members voted unanimously to submit an application for designation to Shropshire Council and this was then submitted following the meeting. The application is currently being reviewed by Shropshire Council. An initial response has been received from Shropshire Council and a reply sent from our Consultant. Details are on the Conservation Area page
PARISH COUNCIL GRANTS
The Parish Council awards grants to community groups on an annual basis, in accordance with its Grant Awarding Policy. All grant applications for the forthcoming financial year are considered each January. Applications should be submitted to the Parish Clerk by 31 December at the latest. The Council has already considered grants for the 2022/23 financial year. Grants will next be considered in January 2023, with applications to be submitted by 31 December 2022.
