Cllr Kyle Robinson

Councillor’s step in to save the day.

Following the disastrous gritting we received in the Kidsgrove area many people found themselves trapped at home on Saturday night and Sunday morning. Especially the elderly and vulnerable. Most Labour Councillors have been out today speaking to residents and helping to clear paths and drives etc. Thanks to the Butt Lane Locality Action Partnership, we were able to hand out thermometer cards to elderly people to make sure they are keeping their homes at the right temperature. I also managed to deliver some bread and milk to a senior citizen in Fifth Avenue. What is most imporant is that in times of need people come together for the good of their communities.

I would personally like to thank Councillor David Allport, Councillor David Stringer and local volunteers for all of their help. Some of the footpaths we cleared together really made a big difference.

Councillor's work hard to clear paths, drives and banks.

Spring Art Exhibitions

Spring Art Exhibitions

I wanted to let you know about the Spring Art Exhibition events coming up at the Butt Lane Baptist Church Coffee Shop.  The exhibition will include lots of Art from local artists and from past experience its well worth a visit.  Why not visit and grab a bite to eat and enjoy a chat with the locals.  The events will take place on several dates, Wednesday 15^th February, Wednesday 22^nd February, Wednesday 29^th February, and Wednesday 7^th March.  The Coffee shop opens 10am – 2.30pm on these dates. 

Hope you can all support this.

Many thanks

Church Street, Butt Lane

Dear Residents

I would like to wish you all a very Happy New Year for 2012. I am hoping we are going to have a very exciting time this year with the Queens Jubilee and the London Olympics just around the corner. Our community can benefit from these significant historic events.

On a more serious note I would like to bring your attention to the development at the rear of Church Street and Congleton Road. You can view the full details of the development of 176 dwellings on the planning section of the Newcastle Borough Council website. The web address is www.newcastle-staffs.gov.uk There is a proposal to demolish a property on Church Street to create a public footpath and cycle path. This is a concern for many local residents and some feel it could add to problems with Anti Social behaviour. There are also concerns about access, congestion and parking in the area. This is your opportunity to send in any objections you have to the plans. I shall be asking for better parking for the area and I would appreciate it if you would take some time to submit your own comments and concerns. Please remember, YOU are the residents and YOU live here, so your say should always come first.

Yours sincerely

Councillor Kyle Robinson
