Netherseal Parish Council

The Council raised strong objections to a proposed 45-home development off Church Lane, highlighting traffic congestion, loss of green belt land, and inadequate drainage infrastructure. Residents are encouraged to submit their views via the planning portal before the consultation deadline.

The annual parish meeting is open to all residents and will be held on Thursday 15 May at 7:30pm. This is your opportunity to hear reports from the council, local police, county and district councillors, and to raise any issues affecting the village.

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.

An expression of interest has been submitted for a grant of up to £35,000 to support major improvements at the recreation ground, including new climbing equipment and accessible play surfaces. A decision is expected by the end of June.

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.
