Newsletter No. 18

Hi *|FNAME|*,

We’d like to wish you, your family and friends a very happy Christmas and New Year from everyone at the council.

We also have a few quick updates in this last newsletter of 2019 :

Waste and Recycling Collections

From Saturday 21 December 2019 to Saturday 4 January 2020 household waste and recycling collections will be different due to the Christmas, Boxing Day and New Year bank holidays.

Allerton Park Landscape and Cultural Heritage Fund Grants Update

Grant 1

The Parish Council received a grant of £9,176 from the Allerton Park Landscape and Cultural Heritage Fund (APLCHF) in October 2019 to carry out improvement works to the Jubilee Recreation Field, the village green west, the Pinfold and the phone box on Main Street housing the community defibrillator. The works to the Jubilee Recreation Field and village green west have now been completed. The new gate to the Pinfold is in production and expected to be installed by the end of December 2019. The phone box refurbishment has been postponed until the spring as wet weather at the scheduled time of the works prevented the contractor from starting.

Following all this work the areas are looking so much more cared for and especially the Jubilee Recreation Field which, if it weren’t for the weather would offer a wonderful place for children to play safely. In the spring a little further work will be needed there to remove the ivy and brambles from the hedge along the roadside plus planting a few new hedge plants to in-fill. Volunteers for this small project will be required. Please contact the Parish Council if you are willing to spare a Saturday morning in February to lend a hand.

Grant 2

The landowners of Glebe Farm, Staveley received a grant offer of £17,640 from the APLCHF in November 2019, to undertake boundary improvement works along Wath Lane/Main Street on the approach to Staveley. This grant represented 75% of the estimated project cost to replace the estate fencing and undertake tree maintenance work plus some new planting.
