Quick Updates Are Posted Here But Don’t Forget To View The News Page!

The issue of the Butlers Marston Chicken Factory Application was an agenda item for Ettington Parish Council at their June 2019 meeting.  Due to being told the Environmental Permit application was being withdrawn the matter was not discussed.  We have now been informed as below:

BUTLERS MARSTON CHICKEN FACTORY APPLICATION IS STILL ONGOING!

DEADLINE TO SUBMIT YOUR OPPOSITION THIS WEEK

Three requests to Hugh Forsyth by the Parish Council to withdraw the Intensive Poultry Environmental Permit application have now been ignored. To be clear, a simple email from Hugh to the Environment Agency is all that is required – this is not a difficult, costly or lengthy task…

The deadline for the Environment Agency public consultation is now only a few days away, so please act now and submit your objection before the end of the week.

 

Points that the Environment Agency will give most weight to are listed in the link below and include:

  • Odour
  • Noise, eg fans, machinery, vehicles
  • Pollution impact on plants and wildlife
  • Impact on water courses, eg pollution and flooding
  • Light

 

Note that traffic, once vehicles leave the site is not considered in this part of the process.

 

The best way to do this is online.

Annual Audit

The annual audit has now been completed with all documentation having been sent to PKF Littlejohn (the external auditors) for review.  The audit paperwork can be found by clicking the ‘audit/accounts’ tab under the ‘Parish Council’ tab.  Feel free to raise any queries direct with the Clerk in line with public rights

Road Safety

Following parishioner raising the issues of lorries parking on the corner of Banbury Road and Churchill Close the Parish Council contacted the Shipston Safer Neighbourhood Team to ask for their advice on how this can be addressed.  PC Craig Purcell suggested:

The larger vehicles may be from nearby construction sites and we can speak to site bosses to try and prevent issues. They’re usually pretty good and might even put a sign up.’
We can also talk directly to companies to get the message across so please do encourage emailing us with photographs of large vehicle with company logos. Emails need to go to shipston.snt@warwickshire.pnn.police.uk

Finally, where neither of the above is appropriate, try ‘Operation Snap’  a website where photos/videos and statements can be uploaded and are then accessed by the relevant Police Force – click on the following link https://www.nextbase.com/en-gb/national-dash-cam-safety-portal
