Stinchcombe Parish Council Meeting

12th November 2025

My informal notes from last Wednesdays Parish Council meeting that I attended along with Cllr. Braun.

Apologies from a couple of Cllrs and Cllr. Linda Cohen.

Quick discussion on previous action points. Playground signs ordered by Highways. One near to bench by Church. One coming up Wick lane mounted on an existing sign. Parish Council would like to see the trustees' village hall minutes for better collaboration. Various cleaned up pavements and drains down Church lane. Village gate 30mph sign missing.

A quick run though of the latest district councillor report. LGR sucks up a lot of time.

A few planning items discussed. Discussed the plans for the Swedish Houses and agree any actions. There is recent speed data/traffic data - 35.4mph - 34mph speed. mean speed 30 - 35mph which matches the data supplied with the upcoming planning information. Discussion of public meeting for Swedish houses. Probably w/c public 1st Dec week which will allow for 24th Nov for council to meet.

Updates from working groups. Playground all good - hedging. Talking bench. Community shed (Mens' Shed) - use of church.

Biodiversity and road safety - Police sent letters to speeders, four follow up cases. Re-locating vas cameras -
Green Energy Group. Agreed to fund a thermal imaging camera for advice on heat loss and green energy also an indoor air smart monitor.
Communication and Engagement. Community First Aid Event (Cllr Wall) St john ambulance.

Both myself and Cllr left the meeting for a quick catch-up meeting in the car park.
