New noticeboards now in use

People in Tansley may have already spotted the two new oak-framed noticeboards that Parish Councillor Brian Taylor has made for Tansley Parish Council and our community. Brian, an expert joiner and founder member of Pride In Tansley, gave all his time freely and has done a marvellous job. He is grateful to Charles Gregory and Sons Ltd. for donating the wood. The new boards are outside the Community Hall and beside the Village Green opposite The Old Coach Road. Please help us to look after them.

You can have non-commercial notices put on the boards by giving paper copies to the following people: Sally Leighton, Parish Clerk (click here for her contact details) [both boards]; Vicki Raynes, Rogan Cottage, Church Street (next to Holly Lane) [Community Hall board only]; Jane Flanagan [Village Green board only].

Planning Application for West Yard greenfield site

Despite objections by Tansley Parish Council and 50 Tansley residents, the DDDC Planning Dept. recommended its approval. At the council meeting on 22nd October, the Conservative led policy and zeal for building Affordable Homes, even on a formerly protected, highly valued and unsuitable greenfield site, brought approval.

The Planning Dept's report is here. [22/10]
