Stinchcombe Parish Council Meeting

10th December 2025

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

Prior to the main council meeting there was a packed community consultation about the proposed redevelopment at 1-4 The Avenue, Stinchcombe. It was a really good opportunity to speak with the SDC project team. Overall there seems to be agreement that, despite the lack of facilities in the village, the design is OK but the density of development is a cause for concern. Highway issues were also voiced. Have your say. Online consultation here

After everyone left the room was reconfigured for the parish council meeting. Apologies were received from the Clerk and Cllr. Linda Cohen.

A brief discussion on a planning application that missed the agenda pack. The consultation ends on the 8th of Jan. I was able to get SDC to offer an extension until the 15th on this to prevent an extraordinary meeting being called. :)

The meeting orgainsed by North Nibley PC with most of the other neighbouring town and parish councils was thought to have been really worthwhile. Myself and Catherine answered some question on the SDC Councillors Report.

There was quite a discussion about how to make better contact with parishioners. Maybe getting some leaflets printed. There will a comms meeting after Xmas. After the consultation event there was little more to say about the Swedish Houses.

Myself and Cllr Braun left soon after.
