Time to Talk<br />
The Time to Talk Day, an initiative that encourages<br />
everyone to talk about their mental health, takes place<br />
this year on Thursday 3rd <strong>Feb</strong>ruary <strong>2022</strong>. The day is<br />
about creating supportive communities by having<br />
conversations with family, friends, or colleagues about<br />
mental health.<br />
Seneley Green Parish Council, and in particular Cllr<br />
Pete Peers and their Health & Wellbeing Group working<br />
alongside Kate Andrews, a Mental Health Professional at<br />
Garswood Surgery, will be leading the way by hosting an<br />
event for Time to Talk Day.<br />
The event will take place, subject to Government &<br />
NHS England regulations at the time, on Thursday<br />
3rd <strong>Feb</strong>ruary between 10am-1pm at Seneley Green<br />
Community Hall on Billinge Road in Garswood.<br />
The Parish Council is also open to facilitating further<br />
events for people suffering with their mental health and<br />
their friends and families. For details about this and a<br />

New Hall for Billinge PC<br />
After almost 3 years of negotiation, Billinge Chapel End<br />
Parish Council has secured the purchase of the former<br />
Methodist Church in the centre of the village. The site of<br />
the former Public Hall on Pingot Road will be developed<br />
into two bungalows.<br />
The new Public Hall is next to the Millennium Garden<br />
which the Parish Council already owns. The small<br />
graveyard on the site of the church will be maintained by<br />
the Parish Council.<br />
At the first Parish Council meeting at the new Public<br />
Hall, Parish Chair Cllr Dennis Mc Donnell said “This is an<br />
historic occasion and I sincerely hope that, in a hundred<br />
years’ time, our successors in the Parish Council will be<br />
celebrating the centenary of the site”.<br />
He also thanked the Councillors for their efforts to secure<br />
the site and, in particular, the previous Parish Clerk, Tom<br />
Kelly and present Clerk Hazel Broatch.<br />
The Parish Council will be consulting with residents on<br />
proposals to develop the site for community needs.<br />
Any suggestions or ideas would be welcome for<br />
consideration as part of the process. The Parish Council<br />
meets at 7.30 pm on the third Monday of every month.<br />
