PUBLIC NOTICE

ROAD TRAFFIC REGULATION ACT 1984 – SECTION 14(2) (as amended)

WORCESTERSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL

Notice of closure of Footpaths RK-832, Rock and AY-567, Abberley, Worcestershire (“the highway”) as an Emergency Measure.

It appears to Worcestershire County Council that because of the likelihood of danger to the public as a result of a collapsed bridge and ditch crossing, therefore there is an urgent need to close the highway immediately in the following terms:-

1. The effect of the Notice is that no person shall proceed along Footpaths RK-832, Rock and AY-567, Abberley for their entire lengths.

2. This provision shall continue in force for a maximum of 21 days (unless further provision is made for its continuance). It is anticipated that it will remain in force for 21 days.

3. Alternative route: – via C2071 Netherton Lane and vice versa.

Nothing in this Notice shall prevent at any time access for pedestrians to any premises situated on or adjacent to the highway, or to any other premises accessible for pedestrians from and only from the highway.

Worcestershire County Councillor – Cllr. Pollock’s Divisional Grant Fund.

Cllr. Pollock is inviting further applications for support from his Divisional Fund!!

This is £10,000 of your council tax money that is left for him to allocate to worthy causes benefiting the division – but not exclusively to be spent within the division.

All allocations for the last 8 or 9 years can be viewed on the website, from which you may learn that many small organisations and clubs have benefited in the past, and he is keen that the most-worthy should benefit in the future.

As a principle, he would prefer to offer no more than £1,000 to any one cause, and the money should not ordinarily be for a continuing commitment as opposed to buying new kit or materials or allowing a one-off event.

COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS FUND
Worcestershire County Council has set up a Community Solutions Fund in recognition of the important roles played by parish and town councils, the voluntary and community sector, partners and organisations in supporting local communities to come together and do things for themselves.

Please Note: The closing date for applications is 5pm on 8 September 2019.
Community Solutions Fund

We are all aware local authorities have ever decreasing spending power. The ability to grow community capacity and enable individuals, families and communities to do more for themselves is vital if we are to realise the aspirations for Worcestershire outlined in the Corporate Plan – Shaping Worcestershire’s Future.

Act Local – Worcestershire’s Vision for Localism continues to promote cultural change – new ways of working and new ways of thinking
• communities – less reliant on the Council to solve problems or issues, and taking the initiative to do this for themselves
• partners – encouraging and promoting a response where the local community takes responsibility
• councillors – embracing their community leadership role and using self-service options – the support available will change as the Council changes
• officers – responding to Councillors and communities, developing new skills and supporting Councillors and communities

We recognise the important roles played by Parish and Town Councils, the Voluntary and Community Sector, partners and organisations in supporting local communities to come together and do things for themselves; taking control of improving the quality of life in the places where we live.
In order to help achieve this Worcestershire County Council has set up a Community Solutions Fund.
