A massive thank you to everyone who's taken part in the litter picks over the last couple of weeks.

👉 Groups across Shalford, Peasmarsh and Chilworth
👉 34 Bags collected
👉 372kgs of litter removed from our home!!!!

Special call outs to: The Shalford Station Supporter group, Shalford Peasmarsh & Chilworth Climate Action Group, 1st Shalford Cubs and to Bex for the many, many, MANY hours of coordination as well as joining lots of individual litter picks.

And finally, a HUGE thank you to everyone who takes part in the monthly litter picks (10-12pm, last Sunday of the month at Shalford Swift Tower). You're all wonderful 😊

If anyone's been missed out who should have a call out, it's not intentional - please add them into the comments!

The Chair and Clerk met last week with SCC Cllr Matt Furniss regarding an update on the Place Making (improving the local environment) scheme in Kings Road, Shalford, and would like to update residents with the following information.

Option 3 was the most popular option in the consultation last year, followed by Option 2.
Option 3 requires a certain length of time for the Commons Application to be processed as the proposal was to move the current parking spaces to the grass area opposite which is defined as Common Land.
Proceeding with Option 2 as the timescale for completion does not allow for Option 3.
Funding for this Place Making is available until the end of the financial year 2026/7 (beginning of April 2027).
It is hoped that the works will be done over the Summer months of 2026.
Option 2 delivers no reduction in parking spaces currently in the slip road - 1 a blue badge space plus space for 3 or 4 vehicles, depending on size and sensible parking. There are currently 4 spaces plus 1 x blue badge space.
There will be 2 new spaces in the newly constructed lay-by at the end of the slip road.
We will be meeting with the SCC design team in January to see if there is potential for more car park spaces.
SCC have been keeping local businesses informed and they are aware of their concerns.
You can still see the proposed layout of the scheme using the following link:
