RESIDENT'S MEETING TONIGHT AT VILLAGE HALL TO DISCUSS EAVES GREEN LANE TRAVELLERS' SITE

A meeting has been called by the newly formed residents group named Residents Against Inappropriate Developments, RAID, tonight at 8pm in the Village Hall, Tuesday 4 May 2010.
Residents have invited MP Caroline Spelman, the police, Solihull Council, MEP and the Labour candidate.
Please not this is NOT a parish council meeting. The parish council continues to pressure Solihull Council to provide the facts of the Stop Notice and the details of the planning application. Once this information is available, the parish council will call an extraordinary meeting to make a decision on the planning application. The earliest date for this will be Monday 10 May 2010. This is because an extraordinary parish council meeting has to have three clear days notice which does not include weekends, bank holidays or the day the notice is served.

The Meriden Parish Plan has now been published!
After 2 years of hard work the Parish Appraisal Steering Group drafted the Parish Plan which the Parish Council formally adopted on Monday 26 October. Now printed, distribution to all resident households commenced this weekend. Everyone should receive their copy by the end of November. Rosie Weaver, chair of Meriden Parish Council, has been stopped in the streets this weekend by residents praising the quality of the plan. On behalf of Rosie Weaver and Iain Roxburgh, chair of Parish Plan Steering Group, a big thank you has to be extended to residents who completed the questionnaire last year giving us an outstanding 60% return rate and all volunteers of the steering group and parish council who worked hard to see it delivered within such a short period of time. You'll be able to read the Parish Plan online soon.
