SNT Sergeant for Shipston, Bob Shaw, said: “We are really pleased that the Safer Neighbourhood Team is staying in the town. It shows our commitment to the community and also enables us to continue to strengthen our links with the people of Shipston.” Town Mayor, Paul Rathkey, commented: “I am delighted that Shipston will continue to be policed from Shipston and that the town council has been able to make a prudent investment in the future of this town.” The town council is aiming to occupy the building in early April, and all future council meetings will be held at the new location.

  • Lapworth Cricket Club RUCIS
    APPENDIX 1 RURAL/URBAN CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT GRANTS APPLICATION FOR 18th MARCH 2020 EXECUTIVE : Applicant : Lapworth Cricket Club Description of scheme: 1. An integral part of cricket is to keep an accurate record of the score on a ball by ball basis which traditionally has been done by the club’s scorers who are situated in the scorebox at the cricket ground. As well as recording the information by hand in a scorebook the scorers also operate manually the numerical numbers in the scorebox which conveys the current score to the players on the field and to the spectators; for many years the club scorer was a key member of the club unfortunately very few clubs now have a dedicated scorer and this task is now undertaken by the players. To actually score the scorebook and maintain the scorebox is complicated and this task is being undertaken by fewer and fewer people with virtually none of these being the club's Junior players. The club plan is to install onto the existing scorebox facia an electronic scoreboard which will be operated by a scorer using an computer software application; the information will be input into the computer and this will automatically update the scorebox therefore eliminating the discrepancies which occur almost every game when done manually. The club believe that with younger people now being very computer savvy this will encourage their Junior players to become efficient scorers for the future therefore safeguarding what is one of the most integral parts of the game of cricket – the score. 2. Lapworth Cricket Club are members of the Cotswold Hills league (CHL), over recent years the CHL Management Committee have been introducing and demanding new standards which member clubs must adhere to, one of these standards is to provide separate changing facilities for the two umpires that are appointed by the CHL to officiate at each CHL game.

  • S&A News Sept
    Stoneleigh & Ashow News September 2013 1 Stoneleigh and Ashow Neighbourhood Plan… Most of you reading this will be aware that for a while now we have been talking about the need to develop a Neighbourhood Plan for our parish. Please take a couple of minutes to read the following article… What is a Neighbourhood Plan? The Plan: Ø is a comprehensive plan, which addresses issues of concern to the community, all in one document Ø is a new way for communities to impact the future of the places where they live and work Ø was introduced as part of the Localism Act 2011 Ø must contain an action plan with ways of addressing identified local needs, with clear statements of What, Where, Who and When Ø may address such items as housing needs, services, transport, local greenspace and countryside access, design and land use, local amenities e.g. Village Hall, playing fields, health and community care, business and employment. Why have a Plan? The Plan will: Ø help us to shape a future that we, the community, want to see, rather than one that could have been avoided Ø provide evidence to support funding of projects Ø influence decision making bodies to work with our community and take positive actions forward Ø help to bring groups and individuals in the community together towards a common goal 2 towards a common goal Why now? Ø We now have funding in place to produce a Plan and a few volunteers prepared to make a start on it. Ø Surely it must be better for us to say what we want for our area, rather than wait and just respond to ‘outsiders’ telling us what we need! So what’s next? There are over 2,000 voting electorate in the Stoneleigh and Ashow Parish and we want to ensure each and every one of you has the opportunity to work with us on the plan Ø Inside October’s Parish Magazine will be a questionnaire.(if your copy does not contain one, please let me know) Ø Please, please complete and return and ensure that your voice is heard Ø The results of this questionnaire will be used to drive the heart of the plan.
