Parish Plan - Action Group Update<br />
The Parish Plan Group welcome back Jill Eaves as Secretary<br />
once again having taken over the role from Helen Weight. Jill is no<br />
stranger to the group having been Secretary in the earlier years.<br />
Our thanks to Helen for her support over the past couple of years.<br />
Look of the Parish Action Group<br />
In February 19 volunteers braved the bitter cold weather to collect litter.<br />
An astonishing 62 bags were collected as well as old signage and<br />
broken car parts. The next litter pick is to be held on Saturday 17th<br />
June, meeting at the Black Swan at 10am - see p.17 for details. More<br />
hands are needed, so please support this if you can.<br />
The group continue to maintain planters and flower beds adding<br />
seasonal colour to the Parish and help address dog fouling by providing<br />
doggy bags - see p.20 for how to report incidents of dog fouling.<br />
Getting Around Action Group<br />
Following results of a traffic survey carried out on Glazebrook Lane,<br />
9 new 30mph camera signs have been erected from the A57 traffic lights<br />
through the village to Woolden Road. Police are also looking at specific<br />
places and times to locate mobile radar cameras along the lane. The<br />
Vehicle Activated Sign (VAS) on the lane has also been repaired so<br />
hopefully with all these anti-speeding actions in place it will be a much<br />
safer place for pedestrians as well as drivers.<br />
Recreation & Leisure Action Group<br />
In January 38 people donned their boots to take part in a 4 mile guided<br />
walk around the footpaths and lanes of Rixton-with-Glazebrook. The<br />
Group were very pleased with the turnout and the generous number of<br />
donated cakes which raised over £70 towards future Parish Plan<br />
projects. The route took walkers into Rixton Claypits Nature Reserve a<br />
Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), where they enjoyed rambling<br />
through woodland and beside ponds. Local walking guides called<br />
‘Footpaths Around Rixton’ are free to pick up or download - see<br />
p.21 for details.<br />
Next meeting - Wednesday 24th May 7.30pm, Rixton Methodist Church<br />
