You will soon see changes taking place on The Parade, Landsdowne Road.We have been in talks with the landlord to improve the area.

We are pleased after some hard work that Bayston Hill Parish Council have received funding from the ERDF*. There will be new benches, cycle rack and a noticeboard as well as some tree works, pavement repairs and a deep clean. You will have noticed that the willow tree is causing significant damage to the pavement making sections a hazard to pedestrians. Although we will be removing this tree to prevent further accidents, we are committed to a tree planting scheme this Autumn to more than replace the benefits of this tree to the environment. We will also be looking at placing trees in pots there so they can be easily managed.

*The Welcome Back Fund (Councils across England are to share£56m of ERDF funding to support the return to high streets safelyand help build back better from the pandemic)

Bayston Hill Parish Council members were delighted today to plant the first of our contributions to The Queens Green Canopy initiative. You can see more about this project to celebrate 70 glorious years of the reign of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth here

The tree and plaque were donated to us by Shropshire Council and can be seen in the orchard of the Sensory Gardens, Lythwood Sports Complex.

Thank you to Evie and Lucas, pupils from Oak Meadow School who helped to plant the tree. Thank you also to Rev Hubbard of Christ Church for sharing a prayer with us.
