The planning application
for extensions at Gestron, Ingestre has
been granted. The application for change
of use at Heathcroft Paddock has gone to
appeal. Representations have been made
on an application for a new stable block
behind the garages at Tixall Mews and
demolition of garage and extensions at
2, Ivy Cottage, Tixall.
The HS2 petition to the
House of Lords Select Committee on
Monday March 30th has been
cancelled.
The Council hopes to use a grant
from HS2 to restore and secure the
entrance to Tixall Icehouse, Survey the
field surrounding Tixall Gatehouse to
clarify the routes of the water pipes
from the Hydraulic Ram and underground
water wheel; and to upgrade the canal
towpath from Tixall Lock to the
Aqueduct.
The Canal & River Trust have
said that as the damage to the
Swivel Bridge is to the parapet
and wingwall, and not the arch, they
will not be taking any further action
there at present.
Due to the deteriorating health
of Dr Andrews, the council is advertising
for a replacement Clerk: an average of
3 or 4 hours /week at a minimum of
£10.37/hr depending on experience.
Applications to Mr Sindrey by March
26th.
The Parish Council has made grants
of £670 for the maintenance of
Ingestre churchyard and clock, and
£392 for Tixall churchyard.
Thanks to Mr SIndrey and Eric
Enocson for moving the stone block
from the verge on Billy's Hill.
