Unfortunately the planned Police Community surgery this morning in #chelveston Village Hall has had to be cancelled to other police requirements.

The Parish Council has successfully nominated the #chelveston Village Hall for re-listing as an Asset of Community Value (ACV) by North Northamptonshire Council. The listing lasts for 5 years and helps preserve the building for the community.

Martin King Construction Ltd, the developer at Chelston Rise, has generously funded a supply connection to the old bus shelter, so as to enable a heated defibrillator cabinet to be installed. The Parish Council is now arranging for the installation of the cabinet.

Following a request from the Parish Council, North Northamptonshire Highways have erected "Unsuitable for HGVs" signs at the B645 end of Bidwell Lane, #Caldecott, due to the narrow width of the lane from Manor Farm down to the B645.

The third defibrator has been installed by the Parish Council, so there is now one in each settlement. We thank the Foulger Trust for a grant towards the installation costs, & Martin King Construction Ltd (developer at Chelston Rise) generously funding a National Grid connection.

The Parish Council has purchased some colourful child size Hi Viz waistcoats for taking part in our litter pick events. These were part funded by a North Northamptonshire Council Member Empowerment Fund grant. Our next litter pick is on Saturday 19th April.

The Parish Council has been notified of an application to install a new roundabout on the B645 / Caldecott Road junction. Whilst the Council will consider its response in April, any residents wishing to comment should do so on the NNC planning website at …icaccess.east-northamptonshire.gov.uk/online-applica…

An Easter litter pick in the parish organised by our Environment team. Fast food wrappers, bottles, cans, packets, a shock absorber coil spring (!) and a wheel cover, all safely recovered from the verges. A big thank you to everyone who took part.

Residents can still respond to the proposed new CRE Park access road, as the application is being re-consulted to 21 June. The Parish Council objected to not all the information being made available during the first consultation. You don't need to resubmit any previous responses.
