Many residents have spotted that work has now begun to thin the woodland around Parr's Pool to improve the views from the footpaths.
The majestic oak trees at the end of the pool can now be seen properly and anybody sitting on the benches will be able to enjoy watching the ducks on the pond. The cold snap has slightly delayed the removal of the green duck weed but once the ice thaws the duck weed will be skimmed off the surface of the water and the additional light will help to slow down the spread of the plants.
When the weather warms up in the spring the Council will invest in some aquatic planting that will enhance the look of the pool and also compete with the duck weed, helping to keep it under control. Once the Pool is looking its best the Parish Council will introduce an ongoing maintenance programme to try to keep it that way.
The appeal against refusal of planning permission to build 35 houses on land north of Pulley Lane has been dismissed.

A safety scheme will be installed on Longden Road, Shrewsbury. The work aims to reduce the speed of traffic along the road and increase the safety of those who use the road, particularly those who use the adjacent school. Work is due to start on 15 August 2016 and last for three weeks.
Footway buildouts are proposed in four locations along Longden Road. Part time 20mph flashing signing will be installed on Longden Road and on Bank Farm Road. The road will be surface dressed from Stanley Lane to Roman Road and there will be changes to the existing traffic signs and road markings. The existing street lighting will also be upgraded.
When will the road be closed?
A Sunday closure (7am to 12noon) is proposed on 28 August to allow the road to be surface dressed.
A signed diversion route will be in place to accommodate this.
Access for residents will be maintained.
