Open discussions on budgets & public services

Message from Sue Hackett, Ruyton XI Towns Parish Clerk

Join the Conversation: open discussions on budgets and public services

The public sector in Shropshire faces huge spending cuts in the coming years. The changes that ensue will undoubtedly impact on your local services, so we want to hear from you and understand what you want and need from public services.

Do you have ideas as to how things could run more efficiently? What services do you consider a priority? We want to hear from you.

We are holding a series of events around the county where you can “Join the Conversation” and pose questions to senior representatives from Shropshire Council, the police, the fire and rescue service, Shropshire Clinical Commissioning Group, and Jobcentre Plus.

The evenings are scheduled as follows:

• Monday 16 September 2013 – Castle View – Council Chamber, Oswestry
• Tuesday 17 September 2013 - Craven Arms Community Centre
• Wednesday 18 September 2013 – Tasley Village Hall, Bridgnorth (WV16 4NW)
• Friday 20 September 2013 – Theatre Severn – Walker Theatre, Shrewsbury

Each event will run from 7pm until 9pm.

The new venue for the Bridgnorth event, Tasley Village Hall, replaces the previously-announced Westgate.

The events will be presented by Eric Smith of BBC Radio Shropshire. Eric has a keen interest in the future of the county, and will be on hand to help the audience communicate their questions to the panel.

Keith Barrow, Leader of Shropshire Council said:

“I really want to hear what Shropshire people think about the spending cuts and any other issues that affect their lives in Shropshire, so why not come along to our public meetings and let us know how you feel about living in Shropshire.”

For more information, or to submit a question prior to the event*, please click here to email the organising team.

* – We cannot guarantee to answer all questions submitted in this way. Questions will be considered by the team to ensure there is balanced questioning among the five panelists, and avoid duplication.

One Enchanted Evening

The hotel which serves the best Sunday lunches ever (8-9 fresh vegetables) and has the most stunning view up the Tal y Llyn.

Why not treat yourselves to end this lovely summer.

Saturday 2nd November -  Not only Dinner, singer and fireworks but they have accommodation as well. Sounds like a great excuse for a weekend away to me. For anyone who has not been there, the Tal y Llyn is the perfect place to stop for lunch when you go on a Run to the Coast.

Dear Friends,

 

At last we’ve had a proper summer, I hope you’ve enjoyed the sunshine. As the nights begin to draw in I would like to invite you to a very special event on Saturday November 2nd 2013 at the Pen-y-Bont Hotel, Tal-y-Llyn. “One Enchanted Night” is an evening of Fine Food and Live Lounge Music in the Fireside Restaurant, followed by our annual Firework Display. Tickets for this event are £18.95 and this is what we have in store for you:

• Luxury Carvery with Welsh Topside of Beef, Turkey or Pine Nut Roast.
• Home-made Desserts such as Talyllyn Blackberry and Apple Crumble and Key Lime Pie.
• A cup of Celtic Tea or Rombout’s Coffee afterwards.
• Angela sings Live Lounge Music, including Popular, Jazz and Country numbers. As many of you already know, this is not to be missed! Be transported away with the romance, sing along with some old favourites...it will be a night you will never forget!
• Enchanted by the beautiful music, we then go outside by the Lakeside. From out of the darkness you will see the eyes of an owl, shoals of fish, swarms of bees, stampeding wild horses! All in light and colour in the sky. This is no ordinary Firework display! A poster is attached to give you more of an idea..print and display it or show your friends. I will give you 10% discount for groups of four or more who book before October!

This is a strictly ticket only event, please book by ringing 01654 782285. “One Enchanted Night,” you can experience the magic!

 

Very Best Wishes,
