  • Financial Strategy 2016/17 to 2018/19 PDF
    Cabinet, 17th February 2016: FINANCIAL STRATEGY 2016/17 – 2018/19 Committee and Date Cabinet 17th February 2016 12:00noon FINANCIAL STRATEGY 2016/17 – 2018/19 Responsible Officer James Walton e-mail: [email protected] Tel: 01743 255011 1. Summary This report presents for approval the 2016/17 budget and also identifies the proposals for 2017/18 and 2018/19 budgets which will be further developed throughout 2016/17. Cabinet has received 3 financial strategy reports over the last year setting out the budget position for the Council over the next 3 years. The report to Cabinet on 28 October 2015 set out the development of a Sustainable Business Model to allow the Council to consider what services will be affordable going forward. Savings proposals to balance 2016/17 were identified in the report on 9 December 2015 and following the Provisional Local Government Finance Settlement on 17 December 2015, the Financial Strategy report to Cabinet on 27 January refined the 2016/17 budget and provided details of what service budgets would look like in 2017/18 and 2018/19 within the current resource projections. As previously recommended to Council in the report to Cabinet on 9 December 2015, increases in Council Tax of 2% specifically to be used for Adult Social Care and a further 1.99% increase to be used as general resources are included in the projections. This report provides the final position for 2016/17 budget which has been updated for the Final Local Government Finance Settlement, announced on 8 February 2016. This has seen an improved position for Shropshire Council, with an additional £5.5m in Rural Services Delivery Grant and Transitionary grant provided for 2016/17, reducing to £3m in 2017/18.

  • Hughley, Easthope and Shipton
    Hughley, Easthope and Shipton Our visit was inspired by A.E. Housman's poem 'A Shropshire Lad' was spent exploring the churches of Wenlock Team Ministry. Actually, as far as I'm aware, only one church, Hughley, is mentioned by Housman, but it served as a good starting point for discovering the churches in the surrounding area. Within the Team MInistry there are two discrete geographical groupings, one cluster lying north on the road from Wenlock to Shrewsbury, and the other on the road leading south west from Wenlock in the direction of Craven Arms and Church Stretton. St John the Baptist, Hughley The vane on Hughley 'steeple' - in fact it's a half timbered bell tower. Our first church, Hughley, lies north of the Stretton Road (B4371). Its main claim to fame is the mention in A.E. Housman's poem 'A Shropshire Lad' (see below). It's likely that Housman merely picked the name off a map, because it's said that when he wrote the poem he had never actually visited Shropshire, being in fact born in Worcestershire. Indeed, there is no steeple there, and never has been at Hughley, although there is a half- timbered bell tower, albeit with a vane: The Vane on Hughley steeple, Veers bright, a far-known sign, And there lie Hughley people, And there lie friends of mine... Rood screen at Hughley A colourful post-Easter altar cloth at Hughley. Mary and Rabboni stained glass at Hughley Inside, the church is distinguished by an attractive carved rood screen dividing chancel and nave.

  • Rural Settlement List 2014
    National Non Domestic Rates RURAL SETTLEMENT LIST 2014 1 1. Background Legislation With effect from 1st April 1998, the Local Government Finance and Rating Act 1997 introduced a scheme of mandatory rate relief for certain kinds of hereditament situated in ‘rural settlements’. A ‘rural settlement’ is defined as a settlement that has a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable year in question. The Non-Domestic Rating (Rural Settlements) (England) (Amendment) Order 2009 (S.I. 2009/3176) prescribes the following hereditaments as being eligible with effect from 1st April 2010:- Sole food shop within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole general store within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole post office within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £8,500; Sole public house within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Sole petrol filling station within a rural settlement and has a RV of less than £12,500; Section 47 of the Local Government Finance Act 1988 provides that a billing authority may grant discretionary relief for hereditaments to which mandatory relief applies, and additionally to any hereditament within a rural settlement which is used for purposes which are of benefit to the local community. Sections 42A and 42B of Schedule 1 of the Local Government and Rating Act 1997 dictate that each Billing Authority must prepare and maintain a Rural Settlement List, which is to identify any settlements which:- a) Are wholly or partly within the authority’s area; b) Appear to have a population of not more than 3,000 on 31st December immediately before the chargeable financial year in question; and c) Are, in that financial year, wholly or partly, within an area designated for the purpose.

  • A0638-Shifnal-Matters-Petition.Pdf
    Dear Sir, It is our understanding that it has been past practice for Shropshire Council to delete all and any signatures on petitions that are indicated as from out side Shropshire. At the same time, it is your published policy that responses to the current consultation on the draft local plan are open to all who live, work or are at education in Shropshire. We wish to draw the following to your attention; 1. The change.org site allocates a location to each signatory based on their internet rather than actual location. Thus, while standing in Shifnal the location may show Telford and whilst standing in Albrighton it may show Wolverhampton. 2. Those who live in Shropshire are highly likely to work outside of Shropshire and during their working day a vote will reflect a location outside Shropshire. 3. Those who work or are at education in Shropshire are also potentially residing outside of the county. 4. During the Covid19 restrictions many residents are working from home. It is common practice for work-places to invoke a system of virtual private networks as a security measure. Anyone using a computer with such a network will be assigned a location by change.org that reflects the networks server rather than the users geographic location. In the era of cloud computing this location could be anywhere in the world. We would want to point out that Shifnal Matters has only promoted this petition through adverts in Shifnal and Tong. Our social media posts are also through pages that are specific to Shifnal and Albrighton.

  • A Review of the Tectonic History of the Shropshire Area
    ISSN 1750-855X (Print) ISSN 1750-8568 (Online) A review of the tectonic history of the Shropshire area 1 James Butler BUTLER, J.B. (1990). A review of the tectonic history of the Shropshire area. Proceedings of the Shropshire Geological Society , 9, 20–34. A review of the tectonic data available for Shropshire, relating this to information which has become available from the exploration of the north-west continental shelf. The tectonic history of Shropshire records short bursts of compression producing folding and wrench faulting as a result of continental collision, followed by longer periods of tension, deposition and reversal of movement along the wrench fault system. The County lies upon the Midland Block, comprising Longmyndian and Charnian rock to which was accreted Island Arc volcanics and related sediments along the line of the Pontesford Lineament in the late Precambrian. The so-called "Caledonian grain" was determined at this time and was reactivated many times subsequently. Sediments were folded during the Taconic pulse in mid-Ordovician, and then continental collision along the Iapetus suture in mid-Devonian intensified the Caledonian grain. At the end of the Devonian, collision occurred to the south of the Midland Block. Pulses during the Carboniferous produced the Hercynian basins and welded the continents into one super-continent: Pangea. Break-up of Pangea was followed by a taphrogenic regime with rifting (Cimmerian) in the Permo-Triassic and early Cretaceous. Compressive forces operated at the end of the Cretaceous with reactivation of old wrench faults. Finally, Styrian compression inverted the Weald-type basins and most likely elevated the Welsh Massif at the same time, some 10 million years ago.

Abstract The Anglo-Saxon period spanned over 600 years, beginning in the fifth century with migrations into the Roman province of Britannia by peoples’ from the Continent, witnessing the arrival of Scandinavian raiders and settlers from the ninth century and ending with the Norman Conquest of a unified England in 1066. This was a period of immense cultural, political, economic and religious change. The archaeological evidence for this period is however sparse in comparison with the preceding Roman period and the following medieval period. This is particularly apparent in regions of western England, and our understanding of Shropshire, a county with a notable lack of Anglo-Saxon archaeological or historical evidence, remains obscure. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period in Shropshire by combining multiple sources of evidence, including the growing body of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquity Scheme, to produce an over-view of Shropshire during the Anglo-Saxon period.
