After a period of quiet there has been a disturbance – many of you will have now received a “consultation leaflet from Redrow, who appear to be the ones tasked with building on the fields at the Haigh woods site.
Some of our local councillors are already addressing concerns raised from local residents about the ridiculous time scales given, receiving the consultation leaflet on the 16th and 18th of July and having the deadline for responses at the 23rd July!
Here is a response from Cllr Mike Foster-
Some good news for our younger people in the village- their activities are slowly reopening!

Sadly due to COVID19 the brass band has been on hold
Geoff, the conductor is hoping to hear very soon about reopening of the band room so rehearsals can start again.
If you are an ex player or you would like to play or you want to learn locally Then Tingley Brass band is the band for you.
Normal rehearsals and the youth training band meet at the centre at Blackgates school.
So while you wait for the reopening, polish up your mouth pieces and get that lip back in!
