Folks, WE NEED YOUR HELP

Government housing policy says they have given targets to build new homes totalling 1.5 million in the next 5 years.

What’s Baschurch Parish’s likely cut of that? Anything up to 500 homes.

Clearly our current creaking infrastructure which is close to capacity couldn’t cope - doctors surgery, primary school, sewage treatment have capacity issues currently. Our local road network is poor.

We need a NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN. Without this development could be adhoc and with little community benefit. Residents can kick back all they like but it would be difficult to get planning refusal where a scheme would assist Shropshire Council with their imposed targets.

If your house overlooks a field which you don’t own, enjoy it whilst you can, unless you own it, you don’t have the perpetual right to the that view.

We need volunteers to assist with the NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN

We want to collate residents views but need help doing that. We also need to speak to all other external interested parties who serve or could serve the village.

Here’s the NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN- produced in 2008, so we are well overdue an update

Baschurch Parish Council (BPC) will co-ordinate and fund this project but it should be a community led project.

We are desperately short of volunteers to join to project committee, anyone with IT, PR, planning, development, transportation, infrastructure, strong local knowledge or just care about the place they live are welcome to join.

Please reach out to Anne.howls@baschurchpc.org.uk or Andy.Woodthorpe@baschurchpc.org.uk if interested

Please. We need people to move from interested bystanders to actively involved

Thanks

Andy

BPC Chairman
