The subject of building on garages and parking spaces has obviously touched a nerve! Colin has had loads of responses already and they are still coming. He will send an analysis around in a few days.
To remind you - please send your comments to Colin
There have been various consultations recently regarding changes to local Speed Limit Policies. Opinions seem to vary widely on what speed limits should be where, and which should take priority for enforcement etc. So I have devised a little survey to collect opinions on these issues - you can complete it on-line here:- http://www.rxit.org.uk/limesurvey/index.php/339542/lang-en It is open to anyone, but please ensure you enter a proper post code, since location is obviously important.
thanks,

Think of the numbers of cars per household, parked on the road and on waste ground and then read this proposal.
Our Parish Council has received formal notification of Shropshire Council's proposal to build 5 new Homes on the site of existing garages in Birch Grove and Birch Close. The full text of the notification is presented below. Note, however, that the two drawings included are confidential at this stage and we must respect that classification. As Chair of our Parish Council, it would help us to consider our response if we are made aware of the views of residents - those living near the proposed development, those currently using the garages and parking areas (the proposal covers BOTH parking areas) -and, indeed, any other residents of our Parish. You can email me (colin@rxit.org.uk) or our Clerk (ruytonxitownspc@btinternet.com) or phone me (numbers below) or write (High Bank, Brownhill, Ruyton XI Towns, SY4 1LR) or just stop me when you see me around. You may not be aware of the precise meaning of the term "Affordable Homes". In our area, this means Council-owned properties, allocated for rent according to the prevailing Homepoint system. Note, however, that all rented Council Properties are likely to managed by an "ALMO" in the near future (ALMO means "Arms Length Management Organisation") The notification refers to "a Local Letting Policy" that may be drawn up, but we have no information regarding this at the moment. In this context "Affordable Homes" does NOT mean "small homes for sale on the open market, but built to be at the lower end of open market cost". This sometimes causes confusion. I am circulating this notification because I see that debate has started in other areas (Ellesmere, for example) and it is important that our residents have the same opportunity to comment.
This is the text of the formal notification as received by our Parish Council:-
Shropshire Council has committed to build 62 new homes in Shropshire, working in partnership with the Homes & Communities Agency who will be part-funding the programme. This is due to finish in March 2015. The 62 new homes will be a mix of affordable rent and low cost home ownership properties. The rented properties will become part of Shropshire Council’s housing stock.
The 62 units will be spread around 14 different areas in Shropshire and many of the proposed development areas are infill or garage sites that the Council already owns. For the last few months a variety of feasibility studies have been carried out on each site (ranging from legal searches and initial talks with Planners to ground investigation trial pits) to determine the viability of each site. This stage is largely complete and consultation with relevant stakeholders is now due to commence. Further to completing the majority of site investigation works we wanted to provide you with further information relating to the proposed site within your parish.
The site that is likely to be of interest to you is:
Site Address Postcode Proposed Work
Birch Grove, Ruyton XI Towns SY4 1LH Demolition of 5 existing garages. Erection of 5 new houses on two different sites in Birch Grove
Although housing need in each area has been assessed, the exact mix of properties is still to be decided and a Local Letting Policy is likely to be drawn up for each area.
We have also contacted the relevant Councillors advising them of our proposals and we will shortly be entering into an open consultation stage with the public.
I have attached preliminary (confidential) drawings of our proposals for your information. I would welcome your comments on this development and where possible would seek your support of our proposals. I am happy to discuss matters in greater detail and I can be contacted at the below.

A DOUBLE HELPING OF DRAMA from LADS` own in house writers Great entertainment in a neighbouring village!
A DOUBLE HELPING OF DRAMA
The LADS, Llanymynech Amateur Dramatic Society, are staging two one-act plays in February, both written by their own resident playwrights.
First off is After the Llantin Tarantino WI garden produce show, by Neil Rhodes The ladies of the Llantin Tarantino WI are kind, generous and peace loving. But when it comes to garden produce shows, they enter to win trophies. And when the Royal Horticultural Society decide some of the entries are not entirely correct or fair, the ladies fight back with everything they have: secateurs, garden loppers, and weedkiller! Not that they are at all influenced by American film director Quentin Tarantino’s liking for violence.
InInside Job by Marg Kynaston, Judith – on remand for murder – is visited by best friend Chris. They reminisce about old times and as the plot unfolds we realise things are not as cut and dried as they seem. The play will having you laughing and gasping in turn until the final curtain.
Both plays are being performed from Thursday, February 21 until Saturday 23 at Llanymynech village hall at 7.45pm. Tickets cost £6 (£5 concessions) and are available approximately three weeks in advance from Llanymynech village hall, Mile End Tourist Information Centre, Llanymynech post office and the Herbarium in Oswestry, or telephone 01691 830558 to reserve in advance.

Shropshire Youth Theatre celebrate their 20th anniversary with a steam punk version of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Theatre Severn.
However, we can all see them in the Darwin Shopping Centre for a special performance next Thursday, February 21, at 1pm.
They will perform Pyramus and Thisbe, the play within the main play, in costume the day before their two-night run at Theatre Severn.
Artistic director Maggie Love explains:
“Steam punk is an exciting style of production too, the sort of thing Danny Boyle did for the Olympics opening ceremony with Victorian costumes and modern gadgetry.
The Shropshire Youth Theatre was formed in 1993 to provide an opportunity for young people from across the county to gain experience of all aspects of theatre.
They run senor and junior sections with the seniors, aged 13 to 18, involved in the production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare’s classic comedy of life and love.
Maggie Love said: “Every year we do a number iof performances at various festivals and events and for parents and friends and a major production at Theatre Severn.
“The Pyramus and Thisbe scene is a play within the play and will lend itself to being performed at the Darwin Centre – it should be good fun for our cast and for the shoppers too.
The Shropshire Youth Theatre production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream is at the Walker Theatre at Theatre Severn on Friday and Saturday, February 22 and 23, tickets available from the theatre, www.theatresevern.co.uk .
