Stawley Parish Council Annual Report 2021/22

This is a summary of what the Parish Council has been up to over the past year.

Membership & Responsibilities

The Council has remained the same throughout the year:

Paul Musgrove –Chairman, Clerk and Website

Simon Buttars – Roads

Pat Sweet – Responsible Financial Officer

Clive Wall – Planning

Matt Vellacott – Footpaths & bridleways

Finance

The Parish Precept in 2021/22 increased to £2,927.  However due to some revaluations the cost per household stayed much the same as the previous year. 

The account for the year is elsewhere on this website.  The major expenses for the year were some new Salt Bins and refurbishment of two fingerposts; one at the first corner from the A38 into Greenham and the second at Appley Cross.

Planning

The controversial planning issues during the year were the ongoing effects of change of use at Appley Orchard Farm to include a sawmill and the discovery of a “Scoping Opinion Request” being made for an incinerator at Greenham Quarry.  Both issues are ongoing as no decisions have been made by the relevant Planning Authorities.

Highways & footpaths/bridleways

Refurbishment of finger signs will continue and a provision for this work has been placed in the budget for 2021/22.

Website

The www.stash.org.uk website covering both Stawley & Ashbrittle continues to be updated

with news of Stawley Council Meetings, the Parish News and other local interest stories.

Conclusion

Stawley Parish Council continues to work due to the time given to it by the Councillors to whom I give my thanks.  There have been no major problems during the past year so there were only eight meetings.
