CHRISTMAS


At the meeting on the 19th March 2013 the Orchard View development was discussed with the result that some of the residents of Orchard View enquired if would be possible for the area around the newly developed parking bays to become a wild flower area. There were also concerns about the replacement of the trees that were felled for this scheme, so  a request was  received for a new tree to be planted on the green in conjunction with the Tree Planting scheme also that a ‘Tree Preservation Order’ be obtained for this area. A concern was also highlighted at the size of the local road sign on the green. Enquiries will be made to see if a smaller sign could be installed which would also give clearer instruction to the route of the M5. The Parish Council is going to pursue these requests to see what can be achieved and give reports at forthcoming meetings as and when South Gloucestershire Council have responded.

Commuter Parking along Sundayshill Lane has become a major issue especially since the Orchard View development started and the grass verges now being completely destroyed. The Parish Council raised this issue at the last Thornbury & Alveston Safer Stronger Group meeting sending photographs to clarify the issue and are waiting to hear what they can do to rectify this issue.

The Parish Council would like to thank everyone who helped at the Big Spring Clean and donated wool/baby clothes for HMP Eastwood Park.

Draft minutes of this meeting are now available to view.

The next meeting of the Parish Council will take place in the Village Hall on Tuesday 21st May which will be preceded by the Annual Parish Meeting which will start at 7.30 pm Details of the agendas for these meetings can be accessed by clicking on the links below.
