One of the changes to LJCs agreed by Shropshire Council on 9 December 2010 was that the neighbouring parishes of All Stretton, Smethcott and Woolstaston, Cardington and Leebotwood and Longnor should, with immediate effect, join StrettonDale Local Joint Committee, for a trial period of six months/two meetings. Accordingly no representatives from these three parish councils have been invited to attend this meeting. The main reason for the trial is because these southern parishes may have more affinity with Church Stretton and Corvedale.

An update will be given by Chris Edwards, Lead Officer on (01743 255478)

Shropshire Council are consulting during January to March 2011 with people across Shropshire about proposed changes to local bus services. Comments from the consultation process will be considered in the final Bus Strategy Bus Strategy for Shropshire Council 2011 – 2016 which will be submitted to the Council in April 2011.The Strategy and details on how to respond to the consultation can be viewed athttp://shropshire.gov.uk/transportconsultationIn addition a series of consultation events are being held where council officers will be available to answer any comments on the bus strategy and record any comments in response to the consultation.
