Standing Orders were suspended. 3.1 Residents Issues. 3.1.1 229 Uttoxeter Road, Blythe Bridge - address changed to 2 Caverswall Road Blythe Bridge. Staffordshire Moorlands District Council Planning and Enforcement Department have been advised of this change of address. Royal Mail is the body responsible for issuing postal addresses and will not deliver mail to an incorrect address. 3.1.2 Footway adjacent to the old Smithfield Hotel site. The developers/utility companies are responsible for reinstating the footway. The clerk was requested to report this to Staffordshire County Council Highways Department to enable them to monitor the situation. 3.1.3 Horse Chestnut Trees on Protected Woodland, Caverswall Road, Blythe Bridge. A resident reported that the owner of the above land has had to fell some Horse Chestnut trees because they had become diseased. She also said that other trees in Caverswall Road, adjacent to the Highway had the same disease. The clerk was requested to ask Staffordshire Moorlands District Council Tree Preservation Officer Steve Massey to undertake an inspection. 3.2 Youth Issues. Three young boys attended the meeting because they wished to raise concern with regard to the BMX track and the fact that in parts it had been vandalised reducing the width and one of the boys had also had several punctures. Chairman Councillor Mrs. G. Burton advised that work had already been approved to repair the BMX track and the clerk would check with the playground installers with regard to the problem with punctures although it was felt that this was possibly down to more vandalism and glass embedded in the surface. She explained that this type of surface was the most suitable for the area as there was little noise generated by users. Other BMX surfaces such as wooden or metal can create noise issues for nearby residents. 3.3 Police Report. PCSO Adam Charlesworth updated Councillors on some of the ongoing issues in the Parish. He apologised that PC Alex Gould could not attend the meeting as he was dealing with an arrest. Page 47 He said that anti social behaviour was down by 11 ½% and crime down by 8%. Within the last month 14 incidents of anti social behaviour have been reported but some of these were neighbour disputes. The incident earlier in the year outside the Duke of Wellington, Uttoxeter Road, Blythe Bridge is with the Crown Prosecution Service. Parking issues are ongoing and he said there are problems with vehicles parking at the entrance/exit of the car park adjacent to the Police Station and Library. In response to questions raised by Councillors, PCSO Adam Charlesworth promised to deal with vehicles obstructing safe pedestrian access in Crossfield Avenue, Blythe Bridge and any other areas that local officers receive complaints about. He also said he would look at the situation with regard to vehicles parked on Uttoxeter Road, adjacent to the new housing development to determine if the parked vehicles were impairing the visibility of motorists exiting Caverswall Road. Chairman Councillor Mrs. G. Burton added that she along with County Councillor Day were on the Area Parking Committee and Staffordshire County Council is looking at the possibility of installing double yellow lines at the Police Station/Library entrance/exit as well as along one side of Uttoxeter Road. 3.4 County Council Report. County Councillor W. Day reported that he had received a letter from a resident living in Scarratt Drive, Forsbrook who was concerned about safe pedestrian access on footways which was being restricted due to overgrown hedges. Following a site visit Staffordshire County Council Officer Rob Steele will be writing to owners of properties where overgrown hedges are a problem. With regard to the overgrown hedge at the Butchers Arms, the contractors on site will be dealing with this. A letter of complaint has also been received from a resident living in Dilhorne Road and following a site visit it has been agreed to erect a ‘Forsbrook’ sign and repair/replace the 30mph sign. The complainant was advised that speeding is not the responsibility of Staffordshire County Council and a junction sign in the vicinity of New Close Avenue and Brookgate is not possible because this is not classified as a junction. Correspondence has also been received from two more residents: 1) Regarding the speed along Uttoxeter Road, Blythe Bridge from the junction with Grindley Lane to the Tesco roundabout and 2) Drains and road surface of Caverswall Road, Blythe Bridge. In both the above cases County Councillor W. Day has offered to meet the residents to discuss the issues raised but has not had any response. In response to a concern raised by two Councillors with regard to a sunken grid on Uttoxeter Road/Grindley Lane junction, which had been marked for repair, County Councillor W. Day asked the clerk to furnish him with the recorded reference number. Arrangements will be made to resite the grit bin on the junction of Crossfield Avenue/Stallington Road to its original position. Page 48 County Councillor W. Day said he would be pleased to consider any funding requests from Forsbrook Parish Council. Standing Orders were reinstated. 4.

It was noted that prior to the meeting the applicant withdrew part of the licensing application which covered live music, recorded music, making of music and agreed to only apply for a table alcohol licence.

  • APPENDIX 3 – Blythe Bridge & Forsbrook and Brown Edge & Endon 1. Blythe Bridge & Forsbrook
    Appendix 3: of Staffordshire Moorlands HEA APPENDIX 3 – Blythe Bridge & Forsbrook and Brown Edge & Endon 1. Blythe Bridge & Forsbrook 1.1 BFHECZ 1 – South of Stonehouses 1.1.1 Statement of heritage significance The zone covers 20ha and lies at around 170m AOD. The historic landscape character has been identified as planned enclosure which was probably created in the 18 th or 19 th century (cf. map 1). It is typified by the straight field boundaries and lanes laid out by surveyors. The surrounding landscape is also predominantly rectilinear in form, but does not have the overall regularity of this field system. This may consequently indicate not only enclosure at different periods but also differences in historic land ownership (cf. BFHECZ 2). The majority of the field boundaries have been removed although the overall regularity of the pattern survives. The zone lies within 200m of the line of a Roman road which connected Littlechester, Derbyshire and Chesterton (north of Newcastle under Lyme)1. There is consequently the potential for archaeological remains to be associated with Roman activity. However, besides a few prehistoric and Roman artefacts which have been found, little research has so far been carried on these periods within the wider area. 1.1.2 Heritage values: Evidential value: There is the potential for below ground remains to Low survive related to late prehistoric or Roman activity, which would provide new insights into the history not only of the Forsbrook/Drayton-in-the-Moors parishes, but of Staffordshire Moorlands more generally. Historical value: The overall character of the historic field system is Low still legible in the regularity of what remains.

  • Staffordshire Moorlands 1973-2011
    Staffordshire Moorlands District Council Election Results 1973-2011 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.
