News from your Shropshire Councillor<br />
Claire Wild<br />
MyShropshire<br />
MyShropshire is a new online account that gives you quick and easy access to a range of<br />
online services offered by Shropshire Council.<br />
This account is tied into Shropshire Council’s CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system, which<br />
allows you to keep track of all the things you've reported to them, and makes it easier for you to interact<br />
with an ever-increasing range of services - whenever or wherever you wish to use them. Shropshire Council<br />
are adding new functions and content to this regularly to make MyShropshire even better, so check back and<br />
let me know what you think!<br />
What can I do on MyShropshire?<br />
Currently, you can access the following services:<br />
Make a comment, compliment or complaint * Report a pothole * Report a streetlight or illuminated sign<br />
issue * Report a spillage * Report an issue with a barrier or bollard * Report an issue with a manhole cover or<br />
drainage grid * Report an issue with road markings * Report an issue with a sign<br />
Report an issue with kerbs or studs (cats eyes) * Report flooding * Report an issue with traffic lights * Report<br />
an issue with an electronic sign * Report an issue with a bridge, cattle grid or retaining wall * Salting and<br />
snow clearance. As time goes by more services will be added.<br />
Why have an online account?<br />
The MyShropshire account will give you access to a wide range of services at any time of the day. This gives<br />
you the freedom to report, request or pay for something when you have free time, rather than having to find<br />
the time to ring or visit the Council during normal working hours.<br />
It’s important to note that an online transaction also costs much less than a phone call or visit in person, with<br />
costs in the pence rather than pounds. The money saved can then be used for other services the Council<br />
offers, such as adult social care or Children’s Services. Every time you use MyShropshire you are helping the<br />
Council continue to provide quality services for the residents of Shropshire.<br />
Thank You’s<br />
Thanks to everyone who make our communities vibrant and caring. For those who pick up litter, arrange<br />
parties, run youth clubs, deliver <strong>Village</strong> <strong>Pump</strong>s and much, much, more a massive thank you to you all.<br />
Best wishes for the festive season and all good wishes for the New Year,<br />

Dear Friends,<br />
Are we really in <strong>Dec</strong>ember? Where has <strong>2019</strong> gone? Well, we have arrived at that Month where<br />
not only are we preparing for Christmas but also an election, on my Birthday of all days!<br />
I have a Christmas Card that I have kept in my Carol Book for about 20 years and wish to share<br />
with you as Christmas approaches, that seems very appropriate in the present climate.<br />
The Christmas Card reads:<br />
When the song of the angels is stilled+<br />
When the star is gone+<br />
When the Kings and Princes are home+<br />
When the Shepherds are back with their flocks+<br />
The work of Christmas begins:<br />
To find the lost+<br />
To heal the broken+<br />
To feed the hungry+<br />
To release the prisoner+<br />
To rebuild the nations+<br />
To bring peace among people+<br />
To make music in the heart+<br />
Song of the Angels by Howard Thurman<br />
Wishing you a Happy Christmas and every blessing for <strong>2020</strong>.<br />

Samurai Sudoko (Hard)<br />
The standard sudoku rules apply to each 9 x 9 grid. Place digits from 1 to 9 in each empty cell. Every row,<br />

DO YOU LOOK AFTER SOMEONE WHO IS<br />
ILL, FRAIL, DISABLED OR MENTALLY ILL?<br />
We are interested in identifying carers, especially those people who may be caring without<br />
help or support. We know that carers are often “hidden” looking after a family member or<br />
helping a friend or neighbour with day-to-day tasks and may not see themselves as a carer.<br />
Caring for someone is an important and valuable role in the community, which is often a 24<br />
hour job that can be very demanding and isolating for the carer. Carers should receive<br />
appropriate support by way of access to accurate information on a range of topics such as<br />
entitlement to benefits and respite care and not least, a listening ear when things get too<br />
much.<br />
As a Carer, you are also entitled to have your needs assessed by Social Services. A<br />
Carer’s Assessment is a chance to talk about your needs as a carer and the possible ways<br />
help could be given. It also looks at the needs of the person you care for. There is no charge<br />
for an assessment.<br />
If you are a carer, please ask at Reception for a<br />
‘CARERS IDENTIFICATION AND REFERRAL FORM’<br />
LOST PROPERTY We have a number of personal items that have been left by patients at both sites which<br />
have accumulated over the years. We will be disposing of these items if they are not collected by the end<br />
of <strong>Dec</strong>ember <strong>2019</strong>. Please speak to a member of reception if you think you may have left any personal belongings<br />
following a visit to the Practice. From <strong>Jan</strong>uary <strong>2020</strong> we will dispose of any left items if they remain<br />
uncollected after 3 months.<br />
24
DO WE MAKE OURSELVES CLEAR?<br />
DO YOU OR A PERSON YOU CARE FOR HAVE A DISABILITY, IMPAIRMENT OR SENSORY<br />
LOSS?<br />
WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE INFORMATION IN A WAY THAT CAN BE EASILY UNDERSTOOD<br />
OR IN A DIFFERENT FORMAT?<br />
GET YOUR FLU VACCINATION<br />
If you are eligible for the Flu Vaccination contact the<br />
Practice to book your flu vaccination appointment.<br />
Whilst having the vaccine doesn’t prevent ordinary<br />
colds it helps prevent flu!<br />
WHEN THE PRACTICE IS CLOSED AND YOU NEED NON URGENT GENERAL ADVICE<br />
If you need advice about your symptoms you can obtain assistance from your local<br />
pharmacy who are also able to provide advice and treatment for cold sores, headache,<br />
heartburn, nasal congestion, temperature, head Lice, sore throat etc.<br />

<strong>Jan</strong>uary 16 <strong>2020</strong> – AGM 7.30p.m. Cressage <strong>Village</strong> Hall<br />
Di Perry from David Austin Roses at Albrighton was our guest speaker in October and took as her<br />
subject ‘The History and Cultivation of English Roses’. Almost 60 years ago<br />
David Austin introduced his first commercial rose ‘Constance Spy’ to the nation. To date over 200+<br />
varieties of the English Rose have been created by David Austin and his dedicated team and sold all<br />
over the world. David Austin Snr sadly died late last year at the age of 92 leaving behind a son, also<br />
David, to continue his life’s work.<br />
Di Perry visual presentation covered the many different types of roses that David Austin Roses sell<br />
throughout the world ranging from the small patio roses, through the hybrid teas, to the standard roses<br />
many of us plant in our gardens these days, onto climbers and ramblers. She readily answered<br />
members’ questions such as ‘what type of rose to plant in different situations’, ‘why is my climbing<br />
rose now turning up its toes’ and ‘how to keep my roses going during the colder winter months or<br />
summer drought’?<br />
A thoroughly friendly, informative and interesting speaker Di Perry will surely be making a return visit<br />
to CGC in the future!<br />
Cressage Gardening Club normally meets on the 3 rd Thursday monthly (August and <strong>Dec</strong>ember excepted)<br />
at 7.30 p.m. in Cressage <strong>Village</strong> Hall. Membership £10 p.a. and new members always welcome.<br />

News from Christ Church C.E. Primary School<br />
Learning, Listening, Living<br />
Collaboration – working with other schools and experts is at the heart of village school life in <strong>2019</strong>. It means that we<br />
can continue to offer a rich and broad curriculum but in a small setting. These two photos happened over one week in<br />
our school: Year 6s visiting Concord College to use their equipment for a science lesson on electricity (even most large<br />
primary schools don’t own their own Van De Graaff Generator!) and Mr Ashford from Shropshire Music Service coming<br />
into school to teach guitar.<br />
We work with Shropshire Music Service which means that children in school are taught by specialist music teacher<br />
both in terms of learning an instrument and for curriculum music lessons. Going regularly to our local secondary<br />
schools, Concord and William Brookes means that our children can use specialist resources and equipment to deepen<br />
their learning. Shrewsbury Town Football Club work with us on Tuesdays and Thursdays meaning that PE coaches<br />
enthuse and inspire our youngsters to be healthy and active and working in the East Shropshire School Sports<br />
Partnership means that we have plenty of fixtures and sporting competitions with other smaller schools.<br />
Collaboration also happens digitally – we enjoy reading blogs and following educational research from other schools.<br />
Oak Class are currently taking part in an experiment as to whether working ‘shoe-less’ helps children to feel more<br />
relaxed and receptive to learning. Teachers regularly read and share ideas online, meaning we are part of a huge<br />
world-wide research community seeking the best way to enthuse and educate our children. It gives a new meaning to<br />
the saying ‘think globally, act locally’!<br />
Acorns: Year R and Year 1 - theme is ‘Fairy Tales’ taught by Mrs Martin.<br />
Holly: Year 2 and Year 3- theme is ‘Whether the Weather!’ taught by Mr Kennedy and Mrs Cansdale.<br />
Willow: Year 4 and Year 5 theme is ‘Mountains’ taught by Mrs Douch.<br />
Oak: Year 6 theme is ‘Earthquakes’ taught by Mrs Clarke<br />
Acorns work closely with Childrensworld, the on-site nursery (“Outstanding” – Ofsted). They work together on a<br />
Wednesday morning, during ‘Stay and Play’ and Childrensworld come and use our school hall for dance and join us for<br />
some assemblies and special events. Childrensworld also offer wrap around care for school children 8am-6pm and in<br />
the holidays.<br />
If you would like to know more about the school, or visit for a look around, please phone the School Office on 01952<br />
510383. Don’t wait for an Open Day – we are always happy to show people around if you have a younger child, are<br />
moving into the area or considering a school change. We are the catchment area school for Cressage, Cross Houses,<br />
Cound, Coundmoor, Harley and Eaton Constantine but also welcome children attending from other villages. School<br />
Transport is available if you live outside of Cressage.<br />
