YOUTH CLUB PROVISION<br />
I have been asked by many residents about the possibility of restarting a youth club in Cross Houses.<br />
Shropshire Council has allocated £3,000 towards youth provision for the divisions of Tern and Severn Valley.<br />
At the Local Joint Committee (LJC) meeting which will be taking place on Thursday 23rd of <strong>Feb</strong>ruary, 7pm at<br />
the Chapel Community Centre the allocation of the funding will be discussed. Shropshire Council will be<br />
working with Shropshire Youth Association to deliver the service as long as they can secure volunteers to<br />
help. If you are willing to sign up as a volunteer please come along to the LJC meeting. Please be aware that<br />
any volunteers that come forward will have to undergo a DBS check which will be undertaken, free of<br />
charge, by the Shropshire Youth Association. It would be fantastic if those of you who are willing to<br />
volunteer could email either mathew.mead@shropshire.gov.uk or david.fairclough@shropshire.gov.uk<br />
before the meeting so that it will help Cross Houses/Atcham present its case for funding at the meeting.<br />
The youth activities, when organised, will be for children across the Severn Valley division and local children<br />
from any of the out lying villages will be most welcome.<br />
THEFTS FROM SHEDS AND OUTBUILDINGS<br />
There has been a significant increase in the number of thefts from sheds and outbuildings. It appears that in<br />
many of these break ins, specific items such as bikes, tools, garden equipment etc of a particular make and<br />
model, are being sought Please ensure that your outbuildings are secure and if you should witness any<br />
suspicious vehicles or activity in the area please get in touch with Crime Stoppers.<br />
FLY TIPPING AND DOG FOULING<br />
Sadly these issues still affect our villages on a daily basis. There has been an increase in fly tipping and also of<br />
industrial waste being dumped. Please be on the look out for any instances of fly tipping and report it to<br />
Shropshire Council. Do not approach the fly tippers directly but if you have a vehicle registration number<br />
please tell the Council.<br />
Despite previous pleas there are still people who are not picking up after their dogs. If your children walk the<br />
dog please ensure that they know to pick up any waste and place it in any of the bins around the villages.<br />
I look forward to seeing you around our villages in the forthcoming months and if you would like to raise any<br />
issues please do not hesitate to contact me.<br />
