We were overwhelmed by the support and attendance this year and as always, raised a lot of money towards new windows for the Institute and many more community benefits. We would like to thank so many people and couldn’t do it on an individual basis but a massive ‘shout out’ to all our volunteers, who worked tirelessly to bring the whole thing together once more. This continues throughout the year in readiness for the following fete and involves so many people giving up their own time to ensure it all goes smoothly. A great big, heartfelt thank you to each and every one of you, you are brilliant! Finally, with the addition of the Pimms stall and the Sweet stand, we were able to offer something a little different this year and will continue to add to this in the future. If you have any suggestions, please get in touch. Without any doubt, the success of this event is always shown by the wonderful people who attend. This year, we had an even bigger crowd and could barely keep up on the BBQ, which was fantastic! The Wistanswick Fete committee would like to thank everyone who attended and joined in on the many activities we had through the fields. Without you all, this would not happen and is the reason we continue on with this fabulous event. Once again, thank you to you all – Jackie Jefferies & the Fete Committee. 2 Stoke upon Tern Parish Council COUNCIL MEMBERS - The next parish meetings will take place at the Parish Hall on the Cllr Pete Waters (Chairman) - 01630 638911 12th September, Cllr Keith Newby – 01952 541601 14th November & 12th December Cllr Richard Wright – 01630 638520 @ 7.30pm, Cllr David Moore – 01630 685226 Cllr Sue Bartram – 01630 638348 These meetings are open to everyone – come along and have Cllr Sarah Planton – 01630 638494 Cllr Percy Farmer - 01952 541252 your say...

As a result we have even been challenged to the odd match against other clubs, and although we lost both, the second one was closely fought. Thanks go to Market Drayton Football Club for letting us play this last game on their pitch whilst wearing the strip they have kindly lent us. Now we look the part and are ready to take on all comers! If you’d like to join us you’d be welcome at the Maurice Chandler Centre from 4pm on Thursdays - £3.20 per session.

This provides local policies with which to help manage new development in the local area. Shropshire Council are now consulting on this Plan until 25th September 2018. Publication and consultation of the Neighbourhood Plan You can now have your say on the submitted version of the neighbourhood plan by going to http://shropshire.gov.uk/get-involved/stoke-upon-tern- neighbourhood-plan/ Hard copies of the Stoke upon Tern Neighbourhood Plan are available at the following locations for inspection during normal opening hours: Shropshire Council, Shirehall, Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury, SY2 6ND, or Stoke Upon Tern Village Hall, Stoke Upon Tern, TF9 2DU. Notification As part of your representation, you can request to be notified of the council’s decision on whether to adopt the neighbourhood plan under Regulation 19 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) (Amendment) Regulations 2015. Next steps Following the consultation, the council will collate and submit all the responses received and send these to the appointed examiner, along with the submitted documents so that the plan can be examined. Following the examination, the appointed examiner will produce a report and recommend whether or not the plan can be put to a public referendum. The council must then consider the report and make a decision on whether to put the plan to public referendum or refuse it. If agreed, the council will arrange a referendum. If more than 50% of the votes at the referendum are in favour of the plan it will form part of Shropshire Council’s Local Development Plan.

Wistanswick Institute has had two smart new double glazed windows at the back successfully fitted by Formula One of Telford. The people who have used the room have given good reports and say how much warmer and nicer the room is. The committee have decided to replace the rotting kitchen windows at a cost of £700, so we will be continuing the upgrading and improvement of the building. We have a well-designed and up to date kitchen now so we hope to use it for the whole community. If you would like to hire the hall, please contact Richard Wright 01630 638520.
