🏡 What should Barkston & Syston look like in the future?

Where should new homes go?

What sort of development feels right for our villages?

What matters about our green spaces, roads, footpaths, community facilities and the character of where we live?

Barkston & Syston Parish Council has taken the first step towards creating a Neighbourhood Plan.

A Neighbourhood Plan gives local people an opportunity to help shape how their area develops in the years ahead. It can’t simply stop development, and it has to work alongside wider planning policies, but it can give our community a stronger voice in what future development looks like.

Right now, we’re only at the first stage.

South Kesteven District Council is holding a six-week consultation on the proposal to establish the Neighbourhood Plan area.

We’d really like residents to get behind it and involved.

If the proposal goes ahead, the next stage will be about listening to local people and finding out what matters to you.

That means conversations, ideas, concerns and, importantly, hearing from people who don’t normally get involved in Parish Council business.

This isn’t about the Parish Council deciding what the villages need and presenting you with a finished plan.

It’s about creating something WITH the community.

👉 Find out more about Neighbourhood Plans and the current process through South Kesteven District Council.

Neighbourhood Development Plans are voluntary planning policy documents for local communities which help shape the type of developments they want to see in their area.

Hosepipe restrictions (Temporary Use Ban)
A temporary use ban (TUB), also known as a hosepipe ban, has been introduced for all customers across our region.

Weeks of hot, dry weather and record water use mean we're using more water than ever before. These restrictions will help make sure there's enough water for homes, businesses and essential services, while protecting our local rivers and the environment.

The restrictions will be enforced from 1.01am on Saturday 11 July 2026. However, to help protect water supplies and the environment, we're asking customers to start following the restrictions immediately.

We appear to be having a lot of power cuts at the moment, whilst most are short they are still frustrating. The PC will be contacting National grid but it would be good to keep a log of incidents over the next few weeks/Month as a record along with any issues they are causing you. Please could you log incidents below ⬇️

There will be a Parish council Meeting on 29th May for the co-option of new councillors.
