PARISH PLAN IMPLEMENTATION UNDERWAY

( Latest Update info --- Below )

Implementation of Claverley’s extensive Parish Plan has been given a major boost with the appointment of a number of representatives to head up three of the major sub-committees groups.

Dave Harris will be responsible for housing and local facilities; Sarah Cawdell will consider the needs of the Parish’s under sixteen year olds and Richard Cotham will take a leading role in implementing parish-wide environmental improvements.  Both Dave Harris and Richard Cotham played key roles during development phase of the Parish Plan.

Meanwhile, many issues highlighted for immediate action in the Parish Plan are already being tackled. Bridgnorth District Council has recently pledged to begin the process of having the relevant sections of the Parish Plan adopted as a Supplementary Planning Document; a local Willing Neighbours scheme is up and running thanks to the efforts of a number of tireless volunteers; and a major project “Claverley in Bloom” has been instigated to enhance the look of key sites both within Claverley village and on its arterial entrances.

In addition, our local web designer, Ian MacKenzie has re-invented the new-look Claverley web-site.  This is now up and running, with the Parish Plan available to view in PDF format.  Do visit the site – www.claverley.net – and please let Ian have anything that you would like to see posted up on the site by emailing Ian at ian@claverley.net.

Update

November 2006

This month the Parish Plan group has been concentrating on environmental issues, progressing a number of initiatives.  Particular emphasis is being given to energy conservation, energy efficiency and recycling.

 RIGHTS OF WAY MAINTENANCE

 A group of volunteers is being brought together to supplement the council in maintaining the extensive rights of way network in the parish.  The first few volunteers are now on board, and the first footpath to be tackled will be the path running down the side of the football pitch in the village, which is overgrown with nettles and at times is impassable. Work should be carried out here around the end of November.

 The Parish is fortunate in having a large network of footpaths and bridleways, but it is a major task to keep them clear and the local council have neither the funds nor the resources to cover the full network.  More volunteers are urgently needed.  Please contact Richard Cotham on 01746  710334 if you can help in any way.

ENERGY CONSERVATION AND RECYCLING PACK

 Work is in hand to produce a comprehensive reference pack for parishioners, offering advice in all aspects of domestic energy saving including tips for improving household energy efficiency, recycling and composting.  The pack is currently being researched and written and, although funds are unlikely to stretch to a copy per household, it will be made available for all parishioners to consult.  Watch this space for more information. - CLICK LINK ABOVE to view the pack

ENERGY CROPS

 Did you know that the Parish now has its first energy crop plantation?  Indeed, there are 10 acres of elephant grass growing within the Parish boundaries.  This should be ready for cropping next year and will be processed at a special energy plant in Eccleshall, Staffordshire.  If this is successful, more may follow….
