Fradley Parish Council

06/10/2026

We want to express our thanks to Fradley and Alrewas Charities' for their very generous contribution towards our community defibrillators, the Parish Council has now taken responsibility for the units and their ongoing maintenance.

All of the defibrillators have now been replaced with brand-new units. The existing cabinets are fundamentally still in good condition, so rather than the unnecessary of replacing them, one of our councillors has very kindly given them a new lease of life. He is cleaning and repainting the cabinets and replacing the decals so they will look smart and refreshed as the new defibrillators are installed.

This amazing local charity has also offered the opportunity to learn how to use the defibrillators and life saving skills that could potentially Save a Life, the charity ask a small donation if you are able. It is with the help of Burton on Trent Community First Responders that this is available.

The sessions start from 2pm on Saturday 10th October. Please contact Alrewas and Fradley Charities to join, details are at the base of the poster.

It really is wonderful to see the two organisations working together to provide something so important for our community.

Thank you.

🌳 More Improvements to Our Park! 🛝🛹

Work started on Wednesday to remove an older piece of equipment and replace it with two new pieces, a quarter pipe and manual pad with grind ledge, bringing even more variety to the park for our community to enjoy. 🙌

The improvements form part of our S106-funded Community Cohesion Project, helping us continue to enhance facilities for residents of all ages.

The contractor is currently awaiting delivery of the remaining materials and is expected to be back on site on Monday to continue the works.
Weather permitting, the work should be completed by Friday 9th October. 🌦️

Thank you for your patience while the work is underway – we’re looking forward to seeing the new additions in action! 💚

Yesterday we were honoured to join the memorial service for The Battle of Britain. People of all ages came to pay their respects and give their thanks to those who lost their lives in the skies over Britain 86 years ago.

Wreaths were laid and crossed were placed on the commonwealth war graves by members of our community and civic visitors. A bugler sounded the last post for a minutes silence.

Wreaths were placed at the Fradley memorial and a salute was offered to the souls who lost their lives and the union flag they honoured.

Our thanks go to the young people of 1206 Squadron Air Cadets, the Royal British Legion team and of course everyone who came.

They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old, age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
We will remember them

Adult Gym Equipment – Temporary Closure

Hay End Lane Play Park

Please be aware that the adult outdoor gym equipment is currently out of use while improvement works are carried out. We’re hopeful that the works will be completed by Friday, 11th September, and we’ll let you know as soon as the equipment is ready to use again.

On a positive note, the gate to the fenced area has now been repaired, with more robust fixings installed to hopefully prevent any further problems.

Thank you for your patience while the works are completed – we’re nearly there!
