Clay Cross Parish Council

Police confirmed extra patrols across key areas as we approach the summer months. Residents are encouraged to keep reporting issues so police can take action. The parish PCSO can be contacted via the non-emergency number 101.

The annual accounts for 2025/26 have been approved by the external auditor and are now available for public inspection at the parish office and on the website. Total expenditure was £128,000, with reserves of £42,000 carried forward.

An extraordinary meeting has been called for Monday 21 April at 6:30pm to discuss the renewal of the allotment lease with the landowner. All current allotment holders are encouraged to attend as the proposed terms include changes to plot sizes and water access.

A planning application has been submitted for an extension to the village hall to include a new community meeting room and kitchen facilities. The parish council has expressed support in principle, subject to parking arrangements being resolved.

Six new dual-compartment recycling bins have been installed in the village centre as part of the district council's waste reduction programme. The bins accept both general waste and mixed recycling. The parish council funded the decorative surrounds to match the conservation area.
