📅 A date for your diary!

Come along if you can and support Friends of the Glebe. We’d love to see you there!

We’ve arranged this one a little later in the day, running into the early evening, so hopefully those who are at work can pop along too.

If you can’t make it but would still like to support us by donating a tombola prize or a cake, message Teri or drop off at Sally’s.

And of course, there’ll be plenty of cake – it would be rude not to! 🍰🧁🥮😉🤭

Bayston Hill Library Consultation

Bayston Hill Parish Council are considering taking over the running and upkeep of Bayston Hill Library. Shropshire Council are no longer in a financial position to do so.

Due to fluctuating costs of things like energy, staff and rates we can only base the estimated increase on current costs. Therefore, we would expect the money needed to increase over time.
In order to do this we would have to increase the precept, which is the portion of your council tax that you pay annually to Bayston Hill Parish Council.

Based on what we know now we would be adding approx. £15.63 (30p per house per week) to your bills. This would be for the library alone and does not factor in any other increases for projects we already have ongoing.

This is a big decision so Bayston Hill Parish Council would like your opinion.

You can submit this online via our website www.baystonhillparishcouncil.gov.uk too.

You will receive a paper copy via Royal Mail within the next couple of weeks. This can be returned to The Parish Office, Lyth Hill Road, next to Daisy and Tilly's.

The project comes after National Highways completed work on the nearby A49 earlier this year.

In hot and dry conditions, outdoor fires can quickly get out of control and spread to surrounding grass, crops and woodland.

Please avoid lighting fires and help reduce the risk of wildfires this summer.
