During lockdown many residents have explored the footpaths and Green Spaces in Catshill and North Marlbrook. Help us to both protect and add to these in the future through our Neighbourhood Plan.
Legislation allows us to designate Green Spaces if we can show they are special to you and prevent development that could compromise these locations. We need your help to do this.
Please fill in the questionnaire on the link below so that we can show your support for the local environment so that you and future generations can continue to enjoy it. The Green Spaces we wish to protect, together with the footpaths, green corridors and wildlife habitats, are shown on a map of the village, following the questionnaire. All the important features are shown which need your support in order to preserve, protect, and enhance them for future generations. We welcome your comments which you can provide in the questionnaire.

This means that events including;
– Bonfire and Fireworks Event
– Christmas Lights Switch on
– Christmas Party
will not be going ahead this year.
The Parish council will review this decision next year.”
The Parish Councillors have agreed to conduct all Parish Council meetings via ZOOM for the foreseeable future.
