This review may lead to boundary changes affecting several locations, including:
• Albert Road
• Orchard Lane
• Victoria Road
• Parts of Brimscombe Hill
• Brimscombe C of E Primary School
• Brimscombe Church
• The proposed developments at Wimberley Mills and Dark Mills

Minchinhampton Parish Council has received reports of an issue with the swings at Bulwarks playground yesterday. A Parish Councillor visited the site yesterday evening and we’re pleased to confirm the swings have now been freed and are back in use.

If you spot any problems or have concerns at any of our playgrounds, please contact the Deputy Clerk at [email protected] so we can look into it promptly.

Thank you for helping us keep our play areas safe and enjoyable for everyone.

Stroud District Council have asked us to share the following information🌿

To all parish residents - can we encourage you to start making compost at home? More people making compost from their garden &/or food waste has many benefits including:
• reduced carbon emissions due to fewer journeys transporting waste to council tips and incinerators
• no need to buy commercially produced compost ie less plastic bags & less £££
• healthier and more drought resistant soil and plants in our gardens
• more carbon locked into soil
• no need for bonfires
• less pressure on Council resources

Composting helps people to feel they are doing something proactive to combat climate change by closing the ‘waste loop’ in their home.

Gloucestershire County Council want to support residents to start composting. They are offering:
• £15 off your first compost bin at: Composting | Gloucestershire Recycles
• Learn how to compost via this FREE Garden Organic online course at: https://gardenorganic.mylearningapp.com/enrol/index.php?id=44

Sign in as a guest using this password: GloucesterCompost. The course takes about 45-60 minutes

• Get composting advice from a local Master Composter by emailing: [email protected] For more info about the Master Composters see: Garden Organic | Gloucestershire Master Composters

Want to invite one of the Glos Master Composters to deliver a composting workshop in your parish for your residents? Then contact [email protected] to arrange a date.

☃️ Snow Wardens Needed for Winter 2026/27 ☃️

Although snow and ice may feel a long way off given the current weather, Minchinhampton Parish Council — working in partnership with Gloucestershire County Council — is already preparing for the colder months ahead. Planning for winter requires early organisation, including ordering supplies and coordinating volunteers, so work begins several months in advance.

We are now inviting residents who would like to support their community to volunteer as Snow Wardens for 2026/27 and future winters. Snow Wardens play a valued role in helping keep our parish safe and mobile during periods of severe weather.

Please see the poster below for further details.

A sincere thank you to everyone who has already signed up and continues to support this important community effort.

Gloucestershire County Council has also asked us to identify any locations that may benefit from a grit bin. If you are aware of a spot where a grit bin would be helpful, please contact the Deputy Clerk: [email protected]

(Please note: suggestions for grit bin locations will be considered, but we cannot guarantee approval.)
