  • Bele Vue Spring 01
    BELLE VUE & C O L E H A M COMMUNITY NEWS Spring 2021 Dear Resident As leafletting is not an ‘essential’ activity during lockdown I have been unable to get my newsletter out to residents as usual and so I have decided to produce a digital leaflet to keep in touch during this unusual time. Covid-19 volunteer support still available in Belle Vue & Coleham There is hope on the horizon with the role-out of the Covid-19 vaccine but we are not through the pandemic yet. The Belle Vue & Coleham Community Action Group are still running a volunteering phone line, supported by myself, from Monday- Friday 11am-2pm with volunteers continuing to provide services including shopping for those who need to stay at home. Please call 01743 562646 if you need any support. Flooding hits Coleham again Floods hit Coleham again in January, for the third time in less than a year. It is devastating to see the effects on our local shops, businesses and charities in Coleham, and many residents were again trapped in their homes. Coleham is such a vibrant and important part of our community and I am pushing hard for flood prevention measures to be introduced. In January I put in an emergency resolution to Shrewsbury Town Council to ask Shropshire Council to work with the relevant agencies to identify short, medium and long-term plans for flood prevention in Coleham, and the rest of Shrewsbury. This was accepted unanimously, and Shrewsbury Town Council are in discussions with Shropshire Council about how we can prevent flooding in the future.
