BISHAMPTON AND THROCKMORTON PARISH COUNCIL
PARISH COUNCIL NEWS: JANUARY 2009
FLOOD ALLEVIATION
Councillors have met with officers from Wychavon District Council and Worcestershire
County in Bishampton to stress to them the urgency of completing the works promised
before the last flood to alleviate Broad Lane drainage. Members also asked for
the experts to study the drainage patterns around the village to see where further
improvements could be made.
COUNCIL PRECEPT
The parish council set its precept in December – its portion of the council
tax bill - reducing it from £18,720 to £17,500 for the year ahead.
PLANS
A recent plan to further extend Willow Bank residential home in Tilesford was
refused by Wychavon District Council on the grounds of overcrowding.
CHRISTMAS
Thanks are due to the Day family for their supply of the lovely Christmas tree
which lit up the centre of Bishampton. The PC is also very grateful to Mr and
Mrs Bufton for allowing the use of their electricity and members were pleased
to lend their support to what was such a popular carol singing session on Christmas
Eve.
