PARISH PLAN UPDATE 06
PLANNING
GROUPS’ TERMS OF REFERENCE
The
5th Steering Group meeting was in the Methodist Church Hall at 7pm
on Tuesday 23rd July.
The
West Felton Carnival produced some good results for both the young people’s
working group and the environment working group from their respective stalls.
Each group showed their findings. For young people the best favoured aspect of
the Parish was considered its environment, the worst feature being traffic and
travel around the area.
A
reminder that any West Felton based, young persons’ activity provider
interested in being part of the scheme to promote their activities, through the
Plan, should contact Steve on 610126 or Pete Sturgess on 611811.
There
was considerable interest in the environment group’s stall which showed some
old photographs of the Parish leading to many good old reminiscences – most of
which are probably true! We are hoping to get these published on the blogsite
in the next few weeks. This can be viewed on: wfparishplan.blogspot.co.uk .
They
also found out a great deal about the things West Feltoners like to do in their
leisure time as well as the things about the local environment which they want
to maintain, improve or do away with. – Walking is the most favoured activity.
Many people want to have controlled building development and improved cable
connections for ICT. Three major nuisances were made known: - speeding traffic,
dog-fouling and, the most reported, building development.
On
the latter subject, most people will be aware that there is now a revised outline application for Tedsmore
estate’s land north of Tedsmore Road. This can be seen on Shropshire Council’s
Planning website for the 13/01221/OUT application. The new suggestion is for 35
houses and 4 commercial units. Opinions can still be placed on the website as
before and would be welcomed for this adjusted scheme.
Each
of the working groups reported on their progress. The business, employment, ICT
and commerce group have made great progress in determining the many companies
working within the Parish, but are still interested in trying to assist
particularly smaller businesses to get recognition and any possible help from
Shropshire Council. A reminder of the contact for anyone wishing to make their
business known: - Gordon McCombe by e mail at gordonmccombe@aol.com .
These
and the other groups will be establishing their plans over the next few weeks so
that by late summer they can really get stuck into finding out quality
information to lead to improving the quality of life in West Felton Parish
Those
groups again are:
- Schoolchildren and Young Persons
- Elderly & Disability Groups with Sports & Leisure clubs and Churches
- Liaison with surrounding and Perry Parishes
- Business, Employment, Commerce and ICT
- Parking, Traffic, Highways, with Infrastructure (statutory undertakers)
- Bridging, Planning & Building Development
- Environment
- Transportation issues (buses, trains, coaches, taxies, canals, airstrips etc) -
- Publicity
We
are likely in a few weeks to need some extra legs to help with particular group
work. If you might like to help, please contact either me Steve on 01691 610126
to discuss or nominate the group/s you’d like to help with.
