Parish News 26th September 2023
The Parish Council have been asked by the Neighbourhood Planning Group if the Parish Council could have a logo – most Parish and Town Council’s seem to have one and it was thought a good idea for Slimbridge to have one too. Something simple but something that shows it is the parish of Slimbridge. Are you an artist or have some ideas what could be designed? Please send in any designs to the Parish Clerk and these will be looked at in the coming meetings by Cllrs.
Don’t forget that all applications for the Solar Farm fund need to be submitted by October 20th, the Community Advice Panel will meet early November to give recommendations for the Parish Council to decide in their November meeting.
The Parish Council has received e-mails about dog fouling and dogs chasing sheep – please remember to pick up after your dog, stay on the footpaths and keep dogs on leads when in fields with livestock.
With the recent weather many footpaths have become overgrown quite quickly, the footpath working group are meeting again to look at what they can do or if some just need to be reported to Public Rights of Way to deal with. If you know of a footpath that needs looking at, please do report back.
There is a separate piece on the Neighbourhood Plan in the newsletter, please do take the time to look at the draft plan which is in a number of places around the parish, and available on the Parish Council website too.
As a reminder, whilst it may seem like a while away, next May is the Parish Council elections, if anyone wishes to find out about the role of a Cllr and would like to represent their community, please contact the Clerk or other Cllrs if you wish to speak about what is involved, or come along to some Parish Council meetings to hear what is discussed and what the Council do.
The next meetings of the Parish Council are Monday 2nd October for a planning meeting where a new application for the battery storage on Kingston Road has been submitted, and then full council will meet on Monday 16th October.
