Consultation Papers

We are all aware that the parish hall was sadly demolished after flood damage. The parish council retained the lease on the hall land whilst the flood bund plans progressed. It has now been confirmed that the land will not be required by the County Council for storage of equipment whilst the bund is constructed – they have other locations in mind. The current lease on the site ends in 2033 but the parish council has a window of opportunity to renegotiate or terminate the lease in summer 2025. The parish council has decided to consult residents about what they would like the parish council to do with the land – suggest uses or terminate the lease? Consultation period formally ended January 2025 but input from residents is accepted at any time via the parish clerk.

The Parish Council is undertaking a postal survey of views of High Green residents as to whether it should adopt the old red BT telephone box in the village. The telephone box can be adopted by the council for the nominal sum of £1 but with that comes an ongoing commitment and cost to renovating and maintaining it. The other question posed in the survey is how it might best be used? Residents are asked to leave their replies in the telephone box by 20th September. Whilst this is mainly a High Green issue all parishioners are free to contribute to the survey if they wish. The survey form can be found on the Severn Stoke and Croome d’Abitot parish council website or from the parish clerk via email: [email protected]. The response will help the council come to a decision that best reflects the desires of the residents.
