OVERVIEW

This Parish Plan presents the results of an information gathering exercise, designed to discover what the people of Clunbury Parish think about the area in which they live.

In addition to Clunbury village, the Parish encompasses the villages of Clunton and Kempton, plus the settlements of Beambridge, Coston, Cwm, The Llan, Little Brampton, Obley, Purslow and Twitchen.

A parish plan is a document developed by The Parish Plan Steering the community, for the community. It is a Group consulted with statement of how the community sees itself evolving, based on the views, needs Parishioners by a series of and opinions of the people living there.

Clunbury Parish Plan has been produced through a number of public consultation meetings, designed to identify what issues were of concern to residents of the area.

These issues were then used to produce a questionnaire to test how broadly the concerns are shared. This was then distributed to all residents of the Parish who were over 16. A total of 427 questionnaires were circulated, and 284 returned. This is a response rate of just over two thirds, which indicates a high level of interest, and suggests the results are statistically significant.

It is important to remember however, that this is only an enabling exercise; none of the objectives will be achieved without the ongoing support of the people of Clunbury Parish.

‘Blue Remembered Hills’ - Obley

CLUNBURY PARISH

Clunbury Parish is a rural farming district made up of a number of villages, hamlets, settlements and isolated properties. Although it relies on neighbouring towns for almost all of its services, it is nevertheless a thriving community, in tune with its environment.

Early History – Creation of the Parish

Not a great deal is known about the early history of Clunbury, although there is evidence of settlements in the late Stone Age in around 3,000 BC. The ancient -Clee Ridgway which formed part of a major trading route from mid-Wales to the Severn at Bewdley passed through the Parish, and a significant number of Stone Age and Bronze Age finds have been made in both the Clun and Kemp Valleys. The ancient earthworks in Radnor Wood and the proximity of Iron Age hill forts at Bury Ditches and Burrow Hill suggest that the area continued to be occupied through these periods.

Little is known about the Parish during Roman times, or in the Dark Ages, but there is still some archaeological evidence of old enclosures and “ridge and furrow” farming, although most of this has been ploughed out.

The three major settlements of Clunbury, Clunton and Kempton were clearly established well before 1066, as were Purslow, Coston and Obley. All are mentioned in the Domesday Book, produced after the Norman Conquest. This shows that the area was part of Rinlow Hundred, and was sufficiently stable and well organised for effective tax collection.

Organisational changes in the early 12th century saw Rinlow Hundred disappear, to be replaced by the smaller Purslow Hundred. In 1190 Clunbury Parish transferred (with Clun) to the ownership of Wenlock Priory and by 1340, became independent of Clun.

4 Development outside the villages would have been limited as long as the Marches remained subject to cross border raids, but a number of properties survive from the 17th century. These are at Cwm, The Llan, Llanhowell, Twitchen, Little Brampton, Shelveswell and Purslow Hall. This suggests that the community structure, based on the three villages and outlying properties, has been well established for several centuries.

Roads have had a significant impact on the development of the Parish. The biggest single change was probably the introduction of the turnpikes. Before this the network of lanes followed the natural routes between settlements, but the new turnpikes avoided the hill between Brampton Bridge and Little Brampton and followed Clive’s preferred route avoiding Kempton and Walcot Hall.

The turnpikes have now become the B4368 and B4385, separating most traffic away from Clunbury and Kempton, but bisecting Clunton. The network of lanes remained in place until relatively recently, but the demands of motor transport have caused many to either disappear or remain only as footpaths.

5 CLUNBURY PARISH PLAN The People’s View

Farming and Forestry

Visually, Clunbury Parish is dominated by farms and woodlands. The farms are mainly small family run units, based on a traditional mixture of dairy, beef, sheep and arable farming. The landscape which has attracted both tourists and many current residents to the area is no accident of nature, but has been created from nature’s canvas by centuries of management.

Commercial pressures tend to force farmers and land owners to get the maximum return from the land, which often leads to pressure between development and conservation. A balance between commercial requirements and planning constraints is therefore an essential part of life and business in the area.

Churches

Clunbury Parish has two churches, St Swithin’s, visible from the Clun road, nestling below Clunbury Hill, and St Mary’s alongside the road through Clunton. Historically there were also four Chapels, at Clunbury, Clunton, Obley and Twitchen, but none of them survive today except as private houses.

The Norman church of St Swithin’s is the oldest building in the Parish, having been started in the early 12th century. It was originally built as a chapel-of-ease to its mother church in Clun, but became independent in 1341. There was significant rebuilding in the 17th century and a new front door was added in 1842, as well as other Victorian “improvements”.

6 St Mary’s was not built until 1870. It is of local stone in the decorated style, and consists of a continuous nave and chancel, with a small north porch and western bell gable. An earlier mediaeval church existed in Clunton, but its history and even its location are uncertain.

Clunbury School

Clunbury village has had a school serving the Parish since around 1820 and by 1839 there were 40 pupils on the register. It expanded steadily until in 1860 the infants were catered for by a separate teacher in a neighbouring house. The school moved to its present site in 1862.

In 1877, when the Parish population had reached its peak of over a thousand, Clunton had a separate infants’ school which continued through to the early 1920’s, although the older children still progressed to Clunbury.

Today the school continues to thrive as a primary school and serves a wider catchment area than the Parish.

All older children go to secondary schools in neighbouring towns, with most attending the Community College at Bishop’s Castle.

7 CLUNBURY PARISH PLAN The People’s View

Community

The main facilities in the Parish for community activities are the Hundred House at Purslow, the Crown Inn at Clunton and the village halls in Clunbury, Clunton and Kempton.

Both inns serve their local communities, as well as the wider area and tourists. The Crown Inn was saved from closure when it was bought by a number of local residents who continue to operate it on a normal commercial basis.

The village halls are each run by a local management committee for the benefit of their community. They are all used for a wide range of social activities such as dances, quizzes and barbecues, and for private functions. They also serve as meeting rooms for various clubs and committees and Clunbury village hall hosts a pre-school age children’s group on three days a week as well as occasional P.E. and drama activities for the school.

Clunton and Clunbury halls also host a mobile post office facility on one morning each week.

Purslow Sports, Show & Gymkhana

Purslow Sports, Show & Gymkhana is a traditional country show, with most of the standard elements, and a good deal more. Held every year on the late summer bank holiday, it is the largest event in Clunbury which involves the whole community.

It started immediately after the Second World War, based on the produce shows which had been run in Purslow during the 1930’s and it celebrated its diamond jubilee in 2006. In addition to a range of stalls, side shows and entertainments, which vary each year, it also features:

Ÿ Gymkhana Ÿ Dog Show Ÿ Produce Clunbury Hill Run is an established feature Ÿ Arts and Crafts of the day, and consists of a 6km (3.7 mile) Ÿ Children’s Sports circuit from the valley floor to the top of Ÿ Clunbury Hill Run Clunbury Hill and along the ridge, allowing progress to be watched from the show field. It is a challenging event, with a total ascent of 200 metres (656ft), and in addition to good local support, it attracts athletes from clubs across the Midlands.

8 Tourism

The Parish is a very popular tourist area, as it is ideal country for walkers and is close to a number of tourist centres such as Clun, Bishop’s Castle, , Knighton and Ludlow. Tourism is therefore a major part of the economy of the area and there are a significant number of people within the Parish who cater for it. In addition to the two inns mentioned above, there are also tea rooms, touring caravan parks, bed & breakfast providers and a range of holiday cottages and apartments. There are also a number of people who provide food and catering services both locally and more widely.

Other Businesses

Less apparent than the tourist industry or farming, but equally important in providing jobs and services locally, are a range of other businesses. These are too diverse to mention individually, but collectively they play a vital role in preventing even greater population flow from the area.

THE RESPONSES

This section presents the results of the survey and, where appropriate, indicates what consultations have taken place with the appropriate authorities. Where further action is required this is identified and cross referenced to the Action Plan at the end of the document, where details are provided.

A recurring theme throughout the initial consultations, and in the responses to the questionnaire, is the need for more information. This is reflected in many of the action points, most notably in the need for a Parish newsletter and/or website.

COMMUNITY

It is apparent from the responses that although there is a strong community spirit within some parts of the Parish, there is an underlying desire for this to be extended more broadly. The distributed nature of the Parish means that most activities are centred on individual villages; community spirit is localised and no one village acts as a focus for the area.

Village Halls

Good support was expressed for a range of activities in all three village halls, although interest was biased more towards organised events than sporting or physical activities.

Response to question "Would you participate in the following Village Hall based activities if they were available?"

The distributed nature of the Parish means that the support is spread across the three halls, reducing the viability of each, although it is doubtful if a central facility would receive enough extra support to be justified.

10 More parish-wide events rotating between halls could help improve numbers, but this is hindered by poor ACTIONS Cy1 & Cy2 parking facilities at the halls and the lack of an effective Improved communication on village Parish newsletter or similar means of communication. hall events & greater liaison between village hall committees

A liaison group between the three existing village hall committees could be a first step to promoting co-ordination of the separate programmes, and generating broader parish community spirit. Trial or taster events could be used as a means of testing levels of interest.

Outside Activities

Although support was expressed for Village Green and Sports/Play facilities, the numbers, spread across three communities, are unlikely to justify them at any one site in the Parish. However sufficient support was expressed for organised day trips to be viable, as they can pick up support from across the Parish.

ACTION Cy3 Pass on survey evidence to local bus companies about demand for day trips

Mobile Library

The Mobile Library currently visits Clunton and Clunbury villages every second Wednesday morning. There is some demand for it to also call at Kempton and Twitchen, and for after-school access. The Mobile Library Service advise that suggestions for change will be considered at their next review of the service.

ACTION Cy4 Pursue requests for an extended Mobile Library Service

Health

Other than the problem of travel to care services, which is covered in the Transport section, the only health related issues which have been raised are the availability of NHS dentists, and care services.

22% of respondents (61 people) need an NHS dentist, but do not have access to one, and this does not include many who might prefer to use the NHS but have been driven to accept private treatment.

ACTION Cy5 In conjunction with neighbouring parishes, use survey evidence to highlight the scale of problem to local PCT

Although care services are directly relevant to only a small percentage of respondents, there was some evidence of concern about the level of support available. Rather more people indicated that they were unaware of what care provision is available, although this may reflect their lack of need to find out.

Did You Know? Information on Care Services is available on Council’s website at www.shropshire.gov.uk (click tab for Health and Social Care on left of page). Shropshire Partners in Care also has links to local care services available. For more information go to www.spic.co.uk or telephone them on 01743 860011.

12 Police and Crime Prevention

The low level of crime in the area is reflected in the fact that a large majority of those who replied to this question (80%) have had no contact with the police in the last 5 years. Of those that have needed to contact them, three quarters rated the response reasonable or good.

General concerns are much wider however, particularly with the lack of visible police presence, and uncertainty over which community police area covers Clunbury Parish.

Many people would like to see Neighbourhood Watch in the area, although experience with the previous attempt in Clunbury village suggests that it may be difficult to maintain. The Rural Watch scheme makes use of an internet portal and has become more responsive to local issues so is likely to be more appropriate for our Parish.

ACTION Cy6 Publicise Rural Watch

Did You Know? Rural Watch is an information sharing and advice scheme between you, the police and other members of the community. It uses the computer system, Shropshire Community Messaging, to disseminate important warnings and crime prevention advice to anyone signed up to the service. Messages can be received via SMS text, voice message or email, and there are regular newsletters. To find out more and sign up for the service, which is free, go to www.safer-shropshire.org and apply online. Alternatively you can ring Dave Riley on 01743 237499 who will send a form for you to sign and return.

Good Neighbours

Although a number of informal arrangements exist in several parts of the Parish, there is a general lack of knowledge about the established Clun Valley Good Neighbours Scheme, both in terms of the areas covered, and the services provided. Most of the issues raised could be answered by publicising the existing scheme more widely. A number of residents indicated that they would be prepared to volunteer as part of the scheme and these names have been forwarded to the Scheme’s organisers. This will hopefully enhance the scheme’s effectiveness in the Parish.

Did You Know? ACTION Cy7 & Cy8 The aim of the Good Neighbours Scheme is to help anyone in the area who needs a good neighbour from Publicise Good Neighbours Scheme time to time. This might include: help at times of illness more widely or in an emergency; transport; collecting prescriptions; changing library books etc. Shopping and visiting can also be arranged. For more details, or to request help, telephone 01588 640016.

13 CLUNBURY PARISH PLAN The People’s View

ENVIRONMENT

Clunbury Parish is in the heart of the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and its environment is dominated by the landscape. Agriculture and forestry play a major role in maintaining the landscape, and although day-to-day operations can sometimes intrude on people’s lives, most respondents do not consider themselves adversely affected.

Problems which do occur are often outside local farmers’ control, such as the increasing size of delivery lorries, often inappropriate for access to remote farms, but nuisance from crop spraying, grain drying, mud on roads and excessive debris from hedge cutting should be minimised as much as circumstances allow. Greater use of contour ploughing to minimise run-off and flooding was suggested by a number of respondents.

Heritage

There is overwhelming support for the maintenance and conservation of heritage in the Parish, including churches, common land, water meadows, old bridges, monuments and milestones. No particular concerns were raised regarding the present maintenance arrangements, but such was the importance attached to the preservation of heritage by survey respondents that the Parish Council should be encouraged to seek Local Joint Committee Community Chest funding to support any local voluntary conservation efforts.

ACTION E1 Parish Council to seek funding for maintenance and repairs of local heritage features

Trees

Trees are considered by most respondents to be a very important part of the local environment. Three ancient trees have been identified for specific preservation measures. Many other trees are coming to the end of their lives and respondents thought that replacements should be planted before they disappear. The planting of new native trees should also be encouraged, to maintain the overall visual balance of the area. This is in line with the AONB aims and recommendations, and it is therefore proposed that their activities should continue to be supported and that parishioners should advise them of any specific issues relating to Clunbury Parish trees as they arise.

ACTION E2 Liaise with Shropshire Hills AONB Partnership on tree planting

Routine Maintenance

With the major exception of drainage ditches, most respondents are happy with the general level of maintenance provided by the Council and other agencies in the area, although a significant minority expected higher standards to be achieved. Drainage ditches were highlighted as needing better routine maintenance, reflecting the number of people affected by recent flooding, and particularly by the storms of 2007.

14 Over 60 respondents (22%) reported flooding to their house and/or garden and about 200 (70%) were affected by flooding of local roads. It is apparent that the problems are not restricted to extreme weather conditions, as there is also frequent nuisance from surface water after normal rain.

Drainage ditches alongside roads are normally the responsibility of the adjacent landowner, with Council responsibility being restricted to the road drains and associated gullies, which are generally cleaned annually. Shropshire Council work with landowners to ensure they are aware of their responsibilities regarding maintenance of ditches.

ACTION E3 Ensure regular maintenance of drainage ditches

Some comments from the Questionnaire:

“Village lanes into Clunbury get flooded which at times can mean no access to the village”

“Local roads are unable to cope with floodwater because of blocked drains and poor maintenance”

“Problems on some roads because the knowledge of which ditches and drains require more attention is being lost”

Litter and fly tipping are problems in some parts of the Parish. Fly tipping can be dealt with via existing environmental services channels, possibly supported in the future through Rural Watch (see page 13). Evidence of fly tipping can be reported to Shropshire Council on 0345 678 9006. An Environmental Maintenance Budget exists, with specific grants of up to £3,000, and some of this may be available to pay for occasional extra effort in litter picking in the Parish, particularly if co-ordinated with neighbouring parishes.

ACTION E4 Consider a joint litter picking scheme with neighbouring parishes

15 CLUNBURY PARISH PLAN The People’s View

Footpaths and Bridleways

A significant minority of respondents (30%) identified the need for improvement in the level of maintenance of footpaths and bridleways. The Parish Warden Scheme, run by local volunteers through the Clunbury Parish Walking Group, provides a point of contact for specific issues.

ACTION E5 Inform Parish Warden Scheme of issues raised in Survey

Walkers on The Shropshire Way at Kempton

Invasive Alien Weeds

Ragwort, Japanese Knotweed and Himalayan Balsam are all highlighted as problems in the Parish. These are the responsibility of the affected landowner or the highways or river authorities. Information to facilitate recognition, and guidance on the most effective forms of treatment can be obtained from DEFRA and Environment Agency websites.

Himalayan Balsam Japanese Knotweed

16 Invasive alien weeds should be reported to Shropshire Council on 0345 678 9006. The Wildlife and Countryside Act has made it illegal to spread Japanese Knotweed, and it is therefore important that it is disposed of correctly. Advice on disposal should be obtained from Shropshire Council or the Environment Agency. Contact details are given below.

Noise

Noise has a subjective impact on its victims which is often independent of the actual volume. Reported nuisances include dogs, aircraft, traffic, moto-cross, mower racing and late night parties. The only actions proposed are to remind all residents and businesses to consider their neighbours and to request the local authorities to prevent any growth in noise pollution when considering planning and licence applications, and to ensure that the licence conditions are enforced.

ACTION E6 Control and enforcement of planning and licence applications

Dog Fouling

Opinion on the provision of bins for dog litter, or even of signs, was strongly divided. Although almost half of all respondents were in favour of bins, there was also a strongly expressed opinion that they were not appropriate for this area. Education and social pressure are considered to be a more appropriate first step towards getting dog owners to accept responsibility for clearing the mess themselves.

TRAFFIC, TRANSPORT AND ROADS

Traffic

Around 63% of respondents were concerned about the speed of traffic in the Parish. The main areas highlighted were the B4368 through Clunton and Little Brampton, the B4385 through Kempton and Twitchen, and the roads around Clunbury School.

There was support for traffic management systems, with 39% in favour of lowering speed limits, and 41% for electronic speed indicators.

At a meeting with representatives from Shropshire Council, the Steering Group were informed that Twitchen and Clunbury come under the County’s Village Speed Limit Policy. A speed limit for Twitchen has recently been introduced, and measures for Clunbury would be discussed for implementation during the 2009/2010 budget year.

It was suggested that the Parish Council and Clunbury School would need to become involved in discussions on traffic calming and other safety measures around the school.

ACTION T1 Agree on the need for traffic calming in Clunbury village

In areas where respondents felt that speed limits were not being adhered to, the Parish Council could bid for funding to address this issue. If there was evidence that average ACTION T2 speeds were well above the limit, a case could be made to Shropshire Council for Repeat the 2006 Average Speed Review in electronic flashing signs or other minor Clunton & consider additional signage improvements such as Slow Down signs and roadside “gates” at entrances to villages.

18 Excessive speed was also identified by many respondents as a problem in other parts of the Parish, and in particular along the B4385 at Kempton, and at Purslow and Little Brampton crossroads. A new Rural Speed Limit Policy is in draft form, and once published would form the basis for any reviews of limits in the Parish. County reviews are generally prioritised on the basis of accident statistics, and are therefore unlikely to be undertaken in Clunbury Parish unless specifically requested by the Parish Council.

ACTION T3 Consider changes to speed limits on local roads under RSLP

HGVs and Satellite Navigation (SatNav)

The main problems reported were with heavy goods vehicles using unsuitable roads in the Parish and the recent re-routing of HGVs through Twitchen. Shropshire Council are well aware of both problems. They have already introduced signs to divert HGVs before they reach the B4385, but this route is likely to remain the preferred local diversion for HGVs to avoid the A488 through Clun. In addition to improving signage in known SatNav problem areas, Shropshire Council is working with the SatNav companies to get identified errors removed from the systems. Unfortunately this will not prevent HGV drivers using settings or systems intended for car drivers.

ACTION T4 Lobby Shropshire Council for improved signage at strategic points

ACTION T5 Provide Shropshire Council with information on SatNav problem areas

19 CLUNBURY PARISH PLAN The People’s View

Transport

Relatively few parishioners use public transport, but those who do use buses see the service as vital but limited.

Some comments from the Questionnaire:

“Bus service is sporadic, non connecting with train services” “One bus a day - unable to use for work” “The local bus that one can dial up for is very useful” “Not enough information available about services” “Buses do not run frequently enough to be of much use” “The Shropshire Link system is good but restrictive for those that rely on public transport”

Shropshire Council have indicated that there is little scope for additional bus services, but some minor improvements, such as better links with other services, could be made if there were sufficient requests. Parishioners are encouraged to feed back comments and concerns on the service to the Parish Council, who will pass them on to Shropshire Council. Shropshire Council have also been asked to improve the level of information about Shropshire Link on their website.

ACTION T6 Monitor provision of services and improve communication on services available

Shropshire Link bus

Did You Know?

If you want the Shropshire Link bus to connect with another bus or rail service to enable onward travel to a wider destination, then say so at the time of booking and all efforts will be made to schedule the Link service to meet the connections. Further information on Shropshire Link is available online at: www.shropshire.gov.uk/traveltransport.nsf and then follow the links to Travelling by bus; Shropshire Link. Bookings can be made by telephoning 0345 6789068 at least 24 hours before travel.

20 Roads

Respondents thought that verge maintenance in the Parish was poor, but that the roads were generally reasonable, although it should be noted that the survey took place before the harsh winter of 2008/9 and that significant deterioration has taken place since.

The main issues raised were:

Ÿ Insufficient or inadequate roadside footpaths and cycle paths In most of the identified problem areas there is insufficient road or verge width, but, where appropriate a request can be made to Shropshire Council through the Parish Council for additional footpaths and cycle paths. (Note: other footpaths are discussed in the Environment section).

ACTION T7 Review options for improved roadside paths in certain areas

Ÿ Hedges restricting visibility The Parish Council may be able to resolve specific visibility problems by liaison with the neighbouring landowner. Otherwise they will need to approach Shropshire Council to arrange regular maintenance.

Ÿ Ditches not kept clear This issue is discussed in the “Environment” section, under ‘Routine Maintenance’.

Ÿ Potholes and sunken manhole covers A and B class roads are inspected monthly for verge damage and potholes; all other roads being inspected annually.

ACTION T8 & T9 Pass on information on problem areas and request appropriate repairs and remedial work be undertaken

Ÿ Hedge cuttings not cleared up

Ÿ HGVs and farm vehicles damaging the roads and verges These should be reported to Shropshire Council as they arise.

Shropshire Council generally welcomes reports from the public about specific maintenance problems, as it is impractical for them to monitor the whole road network every week. Any damage to roads or other safety issues can be reported directly to Shropshire Council Customer Services, or more general problems can be reported via the Parish Council.

Did You Know?

Road maintenance problems can be reported to Shropshire Council via Customer Services on: 0345 678 9006 or by email to: [email protected]. More information on highways maintenance programmes can be found at: www.shropshire.gov.uk/hwmaint.nsf

21 CLUNBURY PARISH PLAN The People’s View

HOUSING

There was a strong response to the questions on housing, with over 90% of respondents answering, and over 200 additional comments. A large majority wanted to preserve the Parish character as it has existed in recent times, with total opposition to any building developments that would detract from this. Those who did favour some additional housing expressed the view that it should meet the needs of existing local people, and especially those working within the Parish or the immediate vicinity.

56% of those responding to the housing question were against any further development, with three main reasons being given: Ÿ To preserve the rural nature of the AONB and its associated tranquility Ÿ The inability of the infrastructure to support further expansion Ÿ Lack of demand.

44% were in favour of limited development, including barn conversions and house extensions, provided that it is: Ÿ For the perceived needs of existing local people Ÿ Limited to small scale affordable housing (for purchase or rent) Ÿ For younger families, to help maintain a balanced social mix.

ACTION H1 Monitor any changes to housing policy and ensure implementation of policy reflects local views

22 Some comments from the Questionnaire:

“Clunbury is the last of ‘the quietest places under the sun’ to remain reasonably so. More housing means more traffic, noise and bustle. We need to preserve our quiet places”

“The area does not have enough amenities or infrastructure to support housing development”

“Provision should be made in/around the larger towns eg Bishop’s Castle, Craven Arms where the jobs and facilities already exist”

“This is a rural area in an AONB. There is already adequate housing to rent for those on low incomes. The area does not need to attract more people for work.”

“There is no clear evidence of demand”

“This is a conservation area. Any more buildings would destroy its rural nature”

“We need more places for young people. Villages will die off without more families”

“Clun Valley needs to be more vibrant instead of looking backwards and dying. There are opportunities to develop small scale sites which would not spoil the character of the valley”

“Only agree to more housing if it is affordable and aimed at local people”

“We cannot shut the door to all housing development in the Parish. But any development should be well planned and enhance the character of the area, with affordability important”

COMMUNICATION

Traditional Methods

Traditional methods of communication appear to be alive and well in the Parish, with the majority of respondents happy with their knowledge of village affairs and events. In spite of this there is a significant minority (59) who believe that the availability of information is poor. As the most commonly used means of communication are word of mouth and village notice boards, it is likely that information flow varies from ‘Good’ in the villages, to ‘Very Poor’ in more isolated areas, or amongst those who are not already involved. As over 60% of respondents use notice boards for information these would seem to be the most effective means of covering some of the smaller settlements Response to question “How do you find out about such as Twitchen, Beambridge and local events/issues?” Purslow. One in Purslow might be particularly effective as it has a higher % passage of local people to the Hundred Word of mouth 73 House. This would still leave the outlying Village/local notice boards 61 settlements poorly served however, with South Shropshire Journal 57 no natural sites available to cover them Deanery Magazine 45 (e.g. Coston and Obley). Shropshire Star 36 Clun Chronicle 36 Council Magazine 29 Local radio 25 ACTION Cn1 Find out too late or never 13 Internet 10 Increase number of notice boards Other 4 in Parish

Other Methods

There are clearly many gaps in a system which relies on traditional means of communication. Comments received throughout the survey also indicate that improvements are needed in communicating a range of activities and information to the Parish as a whole. There is good demand for a community newsletter or magazine, with more than half of respondents indicating that they would be prepared to pay for one. A small number of people indicated that they would be prepared to help organise and run one. There is also reasonable demand for a Parish website, but fewer people offering to help set up and run it.

Parish Council meetings are currently advertised on the notice boards in Clunton and Clunbury, but there is significant demand (24%) for more information. This suggests that many people are not seeing the notices, or they are not sufficiently informative.

24 If a Parish website and/or newsletter were to be created, then this would enable the Parish Council to publish more information on their activities, as well as provide pointers to county and other related information. In the meantime, the Parish Council has been asked to communicate its activities more widely. Did You Know? Your Parish Councillors are: Harry Collins - Clunton (Chairman) ACTION Cn4 John Croxton - Purslow (Vice Chairman) Parish Council to publish Ian Davies - Clunton Penny Marsh - Clunbury more information on its The Parish Clerk is: Sandra Morgan - The Llan Nancy Adams activities & meetings Malcolm Jones - Kempton 01686 670737 Karl Bailey - Twitchen Stuart Seabury - Clunbury John Hoskins - Kempton

Communication Technology

Coverage by electronic communication in the Parish is patchy, with even analogue TV being problematic to a few respondents. There is some acceptance that this is inevitable in a hilly rural area. There were mixed views expressed whether improvements to mobile phone coverage would be desirable, particularly if ACTION Cn5 it meant extra masts. The most popular suggestion was to Ensure retention of public accept the current coverage, but to retain public phone phone boxes boxes, reconverted to take cash.

There is little or no coverage by digital TV or radio in the area, other than by satellite, and most respondents have little knowledge of what the situation is likely to be after analogue TV is switched off.

ACTION Cn6 ACTION Cn7 Request MP raise issues with service Publicise information on switchover providers

Just over half of respondents indicated that they have Broadband access at home, with about one ACTION Cn8 quarter of these indicating that the speed and/or reliability of the service was poor or unacceptable. Lobby to improve There was only limited support for a public internet provision/speed/reliability of access point in the Parish, insufficient to justify Broadband services spreading the resources currently available at . The most effective action available at a local level is probably to support other groups set up to lobby on all these communication issues at a national level.

BUSINESS

At the time of the survey, 47% of respondents were in active employment, with most of the remainder being retired (43%), or full time homemakers (6%).

The main businesses in the Parish are based on farming, forestry and tourism, although the people of the Parish have a far wider range of occupations, so there is some reliance on commuting.

Some people expressed a need for support to enable them to improve their employment prospects. The main impediments were the availability of suitable hours, childcare, transport and training. The lack of jobs to fit in with school hours was the most common issue, affecting 26 respondents.

Overall the concerns were both too diverse and too distributed for any actions to be practicable at parish level, except to encourage local employers to adopt a flexible approach to working hours wherever possible.

There was support for a local business directory to cover the Parish, and slightly less support for a local business network. The business directory could potentially be achieved in conjunction with the Parish newsletter and/or Parish website referred to earlier. Clunbury is probably too small to support a local business network, and there are networks available in Craven Arms and Bishop’s Castle, but a local network might be viable if organised by a small and enthusiastic group of local business people. ACTION B1 Gauge support and enlist volunteers for a business directory and/or business network

26 Respondents’ attitude to job creation in the Parish was generally very positive, particularly for those jobs relating to agriculture and forestry. It was rather more negative for those businesses which are likely to generate noise or similar nuisance.

EDUCATION AND YOUTH

Pre-School

Although not applicable to most residents, three quarters of those responding to this question felt that there is adequate provision of parent-toddler and nursery groups in the area. Some demand exists for more facilities, but further work would be necessary to establish if there is adequate demand in any one village.

Primary School

Primary schools in the area are not organised along parish lines, and although most primary age children in the Parish attend Clunbury School, some go to or other neighbouring areas. Clunbury School is very successful and is currently over-subscribed. Lydbury North is also performing well and numbers are recovering now that the threat of closure has been lifted.

The questionnaire was written and circulated when primary education was a highly contentious issue in the Parish and there was a real threat of school closure or amalgamation. To avoid the risk of being seen as part of the associated lobbying groups, the subject was deferred from the current Plan, to be covered in a future review.

ACTION EY1 Ensure that future reviews of the Parish Plan consider the needs of primary school children

Secondary School

Most secondary age children in the Parish attend the Community College in Bishop’s Castle. No significant issues were raised during the consultation process, except for transport. Although the standard school bus service is generally acceptable for core times, the lack of options to support after school activities is a significant handicap to children who need to commute.

The provision of later public transport has been raised with Shropshire Council’s Transport Department, but since similar services were removed several years ago due to lack of demand, they are unlikely to be reinstated in the near future.

28 Youth Clubs

Over 40 respondents indicated that there were one or more people in their household who would make use of a youth club in the Parish, with over half of the support being in the 10 to 14 age group. Although the figures include some duplication due to several responses from the same household, and transport will affect take up, there appears to be enough support for a youth club in at least one of the village halls. An encouraging number of people also indicated that they would be prepared to provide support to such a venture.

ACTION EY2 Support and help resource a local Youth Club

The Under 17s’ View

The questionnaire was designed for residents of the Parish who were over 16, but the views of the younger members of the community are considered to be equally important. Information was sought at the 2008 Purslow Show and through a feedback session held at Bishop’s Castle Community College. On the whole, youngsters in the Parish enjoy their rural environment and see their future in the Parish, although realistically, many expect to leave the area for their further education.

In addition to sharing many of the concerns expressed by others, the main issue raised was the lack of facilities for youngsters, made worse by the absence of public transport outside school hours. The setting up of a youth club, as mentioned above, would be a useful first step, but access is needed to a broader range of activities.

Adult Education

Although 17% of respondents already make use of Adult Education courses in the district, nearly half neither knew what was available, nor knew from where to get the information. The responses indicate significant demand for local courses on Computing / IT (87 people), Arts and Crafts (69) and Languages (60). In spite of this apparent support, experience with IT training sessions at the Aston on Clun Broadplace suggests that it can be difficult in practice to tailor a suitable course (time, place and content) to achieve high attendance levels.

It is therefore proposed to pass the results of the survey to the Local Education Authority with a request for them to review what can be organised locally.

ACTION EY3 Forward survey information to LEA and advertise more widely what is available

THE WAY FORWARD

The publication of this Plan is not the end of the process, it is merely the beginning.

The Action Plan identifies what needs to be done in the future, both immediately and longer term. Although it will be mainly up to the Parish Council to ensure that most of the actions are carried out, it is doubtful whether they can be achieved without the active participation of the community.

It is up to the community, and the individuals who form it, to make it happen. This may be by direct action, by organising events and activities, or indirectly, by reminding the Councillors of what needs to be done.

It is also likely that new issues will arise in the future that have not been covered by this Plan. The Parish Plan website [www.shrop.net/clunburyparish] already includes a facility for new issues to be raised, and it is hoped to carry this forward onto a Parish website in the future. This will enable our Parish Councillors to be kept aware of local concerns, and it could form the basis of a future update to the Plan.

Circumstances may also change so that some of the actions need to be updated. It is therefore suggested that the Plan should be formally reviewed every three years, with the first full review starting in 2011 for publication in 2012.
