Welcome to West Dean Life
Welcome to the West Dean Life blog! My name is Bill Evans, I live in Clearwell in West Dean and I am the county councillor for West Dean. It is my intention and hope that this blog will become the forum where information can be exchanged and where discussion will take place. An interesting time lies ahead of us. On the 22nd of February the full County Council will debate and decide upon the administration's proposed budget for 2006/2007.
Newland Parish Council
I attended a meeting of the Newland Parish Council on the evening of the 31st January 2006 and I noted the council's concern regarding the plight of the county's homeless. Member's were alarmed to hear That local charities had been mailed with notification of termination of funding by the county council's administration, it was noted that there had been no consultation over the withdrawal of finance. Shelter, Contact a family, The Forest of Dean Children’s Opportunity Centre, Astra, are affected. I will be articulating the community's concerns at county council level and will playing my part in attempting to persuade the administration to rescind this budget proposal. The council also debated the matter of the unacceptable level of electricity interruptions that Clearwell village is experiencing. I will assist by corresponding with Central Networks on this important subject.
English Bicknor Parish Council
I attended the meeting of the English Bicknor Parish Council on the evening of the 6th of February last. The councillors reported that they had received numerous complaints from residents in the Hillersland and the Symonds Yat area. Foreign drivers of heavy articulated vehicles who rely upon G.P.S (Sat/Nav) are attempting to travel down the very narrow Christchurch to Symonds Yat road. The result is they are becoming trapped, the road is blocked and rescue vehicles are having to remove them. There is a weight restriction on ths road however this is not deterring the articulated vehicles. Iwill be writing to the Road Traffic Manager at Shire Hall and requesting assistance in resolving the problem. I intend to keep readers updated on these matters. I am happy for people to use this blog as a forum to comment upon points raised alternatively you may e-mail me at william.evans@gloucestershire.gov.uk
