Website update: Introducing: www.wwtpc.org.uk/blog Wrockwardine Wood & Trench Parish Council Blog was started at the beginning of October. A blog is like an online diary. We will be able to give you up to date news immediately, before the monthly website update. You will also be able to leave your comments - each post on the blog has a link underneath for comments to be added. We will monitor the comments in case any undesirable messages are left. You can visit the blog at the above address or via a link from the website at www.wwtpc.org.uk Page 3: Parish Council News Environmental Visual Audit (EVA) On the first Wednesday of each month, The Chairman, Clerk and Cllr. Anne Watkins, together with a member of the Local Police Team walk around an area of the Parish of Wrockwardine Wood & Trench to look at any environmental problems such as litter, overgrown hedges, vandalism etc – anything that causes concern. We report these problems to the relevant authority for appropriate action. If you have any environmental problems in your area that we need to address, please let us know. You can ring us on 01952 616363. If you see us out please come and talk to us. The Cockshutt, Wrockwardine Wood On one of our EVAs (see article above) we walked over the large piece of the Cockshutt that is in our Parish. The author of a document in our keeping, entitled ‘A Short History & Profile of Wrockwardine Wood’ wrote the following article on The Cockshutt: “The name Cockshutt or Cockshoote is synonymous with woodland. It would be hard to imagine a treeless Cockshutt, yet the mining efforts of the 17th and 18th Century left parts of the Parish appearing derelict. A survey of trees in 1837 found only 252 trees remaining. The Lilleshall Company was responsible for the re-afforestation of the area in 1865.” You can find more history on the Cockshutt and Wrockwardine Wood at www.british-history.ac.uk Because we enjoyed our EVA of the Cockshutt so much we were inspired to take some photographs showing the natural beauty of the area. The photograph below is one of many that you will find on our website at www.wwtpc.org.uk or call in to the Parish Council Centre where we have copies. The photographs on our website show the autumn colours.

  • Oakengates Town Council Response to Consultation on Review of Borough Ward Boundaries
    OAKENGATES TOWN COUNCIL RESPONSE TO CONSULTATION ON REVIEW OF BOROUGH WARD BOUNDARIES BACKGROUND In October 2012, the Local Government Boundary Commission (“the Commission”) made a presentation outlining proposed changes to the boundaries of wards in The Wrekin Borough for the election of Councillors to sit on Telford & The Wrekin Council. It proposed no change to the number of councillors but significant changes to the boundaries and, in some cases, the names of wards. In June 2013, it made a report of Draft Recommendation, which is the subject of this report. The Commission stated (in Para 4), amongst its aims, that it should ensure that each councillor represents approximately the same number of electors, anticipated to average 2,375 electors per Borough councillor by 2018. It aims include (in Para 31) that no Borough Ward should have a variance of more than 10% away from this average. It advised further (in Para 11) that it had Statutory Criteria under the Local Democracy, Economic Development & Construction Act 2009 (“the 2009 Act”) to ensure Effective and convenient local government”, with “Parishes as building blocks” and “with “Coherent wards with good internal transport links”. It stressed the need to “reflect the identities and interests of local communities, in particular …. the desirability of fixing boundaries so as not to break any local ties.” This report will examine, amongst other things, whether these Statutory Criteria have been met with regards to Oakengates. As all electors have to be represented by someone on the Borough Council, this report also examines if the electors of Oakengates Town are represented by councillors who cover coherent areas with their own identities.

  • History of Broad & Bottle Glass Production in East Shropshire
    THE HISTORY OF BROAD & BOTTLE GLASS PRODUCTION IN EAST SHROPSHIRE BY PAUL ANDREW LUTER Page 1 (Top) the Tablet erected inside Shifnal Saint Andrews Church in memory Of Richard Mountford.Manager of Wrockwardine Wood Glasshouse. The Wrockwardine Wood Rectory originally built as the Glasshouse Managers House in 1806.The house still stands today. Page 2 Early Beginnings at Blower Park This Booklet on the history of Broad and Bottle Glass production in East Shropshire since the late 16th Century shows how Shropshire played a vital part in the history of glass production, a part that is generally ascribed only to the Counties of Staffordshire and Worcestershire, particularly the Stourbridge and Kingswinford areas. Shropshire Glassmaking was stimulated by men from outside the county, namely families of French Lorrainers, Tyzack, Henzey, Tittery, Bongar and Cockery, moved from Wisborough Green and surrounding areas in the County of Sussex to an area known as Bishops Wood which lies between Eccleshall in Staffordshire and Market Drayton in Shropshire and is in the Diocese of Lichfield. (1) The Parish Registers of Eccleshall, and Cheswardine, near Market Drayton, Shropshire show specific records of Frenchmen moving into the area, the earliest being the baptism at Eccleshall of Peregrinus Henzey on the 28th of October 1586. Most of these references clearly indicate sites at Knowle Wood and Blore (or Blower) Park about 4 miles from Eccleshall where once stood a medieval village and where an adjoining castle was the residence for the Bishops of Lichfield. (2) It was at Blower Park and Knowle Wood that glass production in Shropshire first appeared.
