BISHAMPTON AND THROCKMORTON PARISH COUNCIL
PARISH COUNCIL NEWS: MAY 2009
ANNUAL PARISH MEETINGS
Thanks to all those who turned out to the Bishampton Annual Parish Meeting.
The chairman made his annual report,as did district and county councillor Liz
Tucker and those present were able to question them, put their points of view
and also to hear a talk from Mr Rod Stroud of the VVASP group (Vale Villages
Against Scottish Power), which is campaigning against the plans to build wind
turbines in the Lenches. Throckmorton’s Parish Meeting will be staged
before the next Parish Council meeting on June 1.
DOG MESS
This was an issue raised again at the parish meeting. It was noted that Wychavon
DC has greatly increased its costs for extra dog bins and removed its dog bag
service. While it was recognised that many people are responsible owners –
and that in some places, the streets are very clean – there are some who
allow their dogs to foul other people’s land, which that includes open
fields and footpaths. All are keeping their eyes peeled for nuisance dogs and
owners will be reported to the dog warden.
Next Meeting
The next meeting of the council takes place on Monday, June 1st, at Throckmorton
Parish Room, to be preceded by the Throckmorton Annual Parish Meeting –

usually held on the first Monday of the month at 7.30pm and alternate between
Bishampton and Throckmorton halls. Watch the notice boards for details of the
