NOTICE is hereby given that the Staffordshire County Council intend, not less than seven days from the date of this Notice, to make an Order the effect of which will be to prohibit any vehicle from proceeding in that length of Goose Lane, Abbots Bromley between its junctions with Lintake Drive and St.Nicholas Way unless the vehicle is being used in connection with the works; or unless the vehicle requires access to premises on the length of road or is being used for police, fire brigade or ambulance purposes. Pedestrian access will be maintained.
The preferred alternative route for traffic will be available via Goose Lane, St.Nicholas Way, Miresbrook Lane, Bagot Street, Goose Lane and vice versa.
The Order will come into operation on 29th February 2016 at 8am, and the said works will commence on or as near as practicable to that date. It is anticipated that the works will be completed by 11th March 2016 at 5pm.

Abbots Bromley School’s Open Art Exhibition is taking submissions of artwork in any medium up until Wednesday January 6th (delivered to reception and made ready to hang if two dimensional) – £3 per entry, maximum two pieces per person.
The exhibition will run 15/01/16-28/01/16 with an open viewing on Friday January 15th from 3:30-6pm.
The next step will be to agree an Abbots Bromley Neighbourhood Plan working group that will work on drafting and consulting on the plan.
The working group will be made up of Parish Councillors and hopefully interested residents, businesses and local service providers. The plan is only likely to be successful if we can get together a range of different people from across the community.
Corinne O’Hare who is a Planning Officer from East Staffordshire Borough Council has kindly agreed to come along to a meeting to set out the Neighbourhood Plan process more fully and hopefully answer any questions that you might have. This
meeting will be on the 18th November 2015 in the Village Hall, starting at 7:30pm.
Village organisations planning their own events should be aware that “Ironman” triathlon is again taking place in Staffordshire and will result in numerous road closures in our area.
Further information will be distributed nearer the time but you can also visit the Ironman web pages.

After much work by both county and borough councils we have come to a solution for Uttoxeter HWRC.
If you recall ESBC need the Pennycroft site to progress development works funded by a Local Growth Fund grant from the government via GBSLEP to develop this and another site in Burton at Bargates. This funding has to be spent this financial year.
SCC will fund and build a new HWRC site adjacent to the A50 and sewage works on land currently owned by ESBC after planning is granted and as the site access roads are built. In the interim SCC will provide a temporary HWRC site at the old Hockley crossing highways site in Uttoxeter, subject to planning permission being granted which is in progress.
Unfortunately there will be short period between the old one closing on August 31st and the temporary one opening, when ESBC will collect bagged ‘side’ green waste in addition to its normal green waste collections and place a number of its lorries in council car parks on Saturdays and Sundays.
I have to thank everyone involved in the work they have done since the election in May to achieve this solution. I know we all would have preferred no period of closure at all between the sites but this is the best we can do in a tight timescale with some of the issues such as funding out of our direct control.
Regards, Philip Atkins
Goose Lane will be closed from Uttoxeter Road to the junction with St Nicholas Way on Saturday 11th July 2015. The closure is expected to come into effect by 9am and end by 4pm.
