TIPTON St JOHN RESIDENTS' ASSOCIATION WORKING FOR THE VILLAGE
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSAL BY TAYLORS
Please be advised that in our December leaflet regarding the above there were two errors. One that the number of houses was shown as 24 and should have said 19 and secondly, the comment about the sewerage was incorrect it is not going to be a stand alone system. New Information on Planning There is a revised planning application on 11/2172 for the proposed development by Taylors: Housing development of 5 open market dwellings and 10 affordable dwellings and provision of public area to include allotments (Revised proposal including reduction in proposed houses from a total of 19).
Further information to follow at a later date.
Police info No new information from the police as it has been reasonably quiet. Lyn 01404 814052
MAY Unsecured generator taken. JUNE Damage to 2 charity boxes hanging from a wooden gate. Padlock also taken. Village hall car park, car ignition smashed and the facia cracked.
JULY Hanging baskets at the pub pulled down and laminated sign was pulled out of the ground.
Steve and myself are trying to get to Tipton, as time allows, for foot patrol. I have also attended the school for road safety and cycle training. This is a scheme that they run, similar to The Duke Of Edinburgh awards but for the youngsters. I was introduced to the Head Mistress and offered my services for further talks to the children. I have also patrolled outside the school.
No! - The Residents' Association is not just about encouraging village enhancement (bulb planting, hanging baskets, maintaining the Clock) and promoting social events although I think you will agree that the daffodil plantings do add a welcome splash of spring colour.
In fact by their very nature the majority of the matters involving the Association are largely undertaken in the background and all too often results take a frustratingly long time to materialise - which sometimes leads to the moan (mostly when collecting the annual subscription !!) "what does the Residents' Association do" ??
Well, many of you will remember that when the Association was revived around 10 years ago its objectives were to promote the general interests of the village community as a whole, to gather the views of the residents and to provide a channel of communication of residents'opinions to Local Authorities and other relevant parties.
Since then the Association has developed regular lines of communication with our local Councils (O.S.M., EDDC and DCC ), the Highways Department and other public bodies and, of course, invaluable support for Tipton is provided by our local Councillors, Roger Giles, Lyn and John Harding and Claire Wright. It is true to say that Tipton is now very much on the map where local issues are concerned.
The Association receives great support from the village community - but where are you when it comes to nominations for members to serve on the Committee?!! New Committee members are needed - new blood and fresh ideas to keep the Association moving forward.
