Alderton Village Newsletter - February 2024Note from Editor: I am rewriting this having lost the whole thing after spending an afternoon on it. Yes, there is, it appears, a limit to my technology skills! Thankfully it gives people a little more time to add a contribution. The forecast for February seems reasonably mild at the moment….not too much ice hopefully. I gather we have lambs in the fields by the village. What a wonderful nod to Spring coming already. However, I’ve had a request to mention PLEASE wear something hi viz when out at dusk/night especially where there is no pavement as on Dibden Lane.

Alderton Village Newsletter - January 2024Note from Editor: Belated Happy New Year!!! It’s a very wet and windy start to the year so I hope everyone is coping OK. What a December we had in the village! The pub’s Christmas Quiz and roast dinner was fabulous. Then they hosted lots of Christmas Parties, Christmas Day Dinner and coped with the wet and muddy players and spectators from the traditional Charity Football Match. The festivities didn’t stop there with Christmas coffee mornings in the Village Hall and the Christingle, outdoor carols and Christmas service at the church. Finally we had the New Year’s Eve Party at the Village Hall….another awesome event. January promises to be quieter. There are still clubs and societies doing their thing though, so no time to rest!

PROPOSED NEW DEVELOPMENT – Land West of Willow Bank Road, near the stream bridge. The Parish Council have received a new planning application for up to 9 houses on land west of Willow Bank Road. This is the land to the right immediately beyond the stream bridge heading out of the village, with the sewage pipe crossing through the site. The application is for Permission in Principle. This is a process which establishes whether the site is suitable in principle and is followed by a later stage where the detailed development proposals are assessed. The Parish Council will be objecting to this proposal. Key issues in considering such an application relate to location, land use and amount of development.
