Welcome to the website of Wrockwardine Wood & Trench Parish Council
The Parish Council held its first meeting on 29th April 1988 so it is just over twenty years old. The Parish Council Centre was officially opened by Bruce Grocott MP on 24th October 1998.
The Council has eleven councillors covering three wards, two on Wrockwardine Wood Ward, eight for Trench Ward and one councillor for the East Ward. There are two members of staff, the Clerk and the cleaner/caretaker.
The Council maintains the Parish Council Centre which is a community building, and manages allotments at Stanmore Drive, we fund the maintenance of street lighting in the parish and are responsible for the maintenance of the churchyard at Holy Trinity Church, Wrockwardine Wood.
The Council provides grants to groups within the community and to outside groups that benefit the community. You can download a grant application form here. The Council makes representation to other local authorities on planning and other matters and lobbies for improvements in footpaths, repair of pot holes, maintenance of bus shelters, street cleansing and grass verges and hedge cutting.
You can also download our latest newsletter here, download some forms here and read the minutes of our latest meetings here. We hope you will also enjoy our history section. If you would like to make any suggestions or comments, you can contact us here.
Local Policing Team Message
Wrockwardine Wood & Trench Local Police Team would like to take this opportunity to thank local residents who have taken their time to complete the survey forms, which are featured in each news letter. Your responses have given this team a variety of tasks, over the past few years, which have been acted upon.
PC Walters and CSO Harrison ask that you continue to complete the forms in order to assist them on targeting your concerns. Currently the team cannot give feedback on all the issues raised that range from environmental matters to antisocial behavior reports, each return is treated confidentially.
Below are some examples that were brought to our attention:
- Parking issues along Trench Road
- Blocked drains and littering by the shopping parade off Trench Road
- Speeding vehicles on Wombridge Road
- Dog fouling
- Noise/nuisance outside public houses and in park areas
Please note that some of the issues above are not police related but we share all relevant information with our partners to designate the right departments to address the problem.
PC Walters would also like to add that owing to more people using the internet for pleasure and seeking information, West Mercia Police Website is most useful for looking up information and advice on policing issues. At the next Partners And Community Together (PACT) meeting on 25th May 2010, PC Walters will include a short demonstration on how best to access and use the Website for information on local matters, in particular Crime Statistics (Crimemapper) in your local area.
At the last PACT Meeting held on 23rd February the following three issues were highlighted:
- Litter at Trench Road – The local police team will speak to all the food outlets to ask if they can help with this problem.
- Trench Lock Lights – Vehicles going through red lights – The police and local council will survey this area and liaise with Telford & Wrekin Council..
- Stars Shop Car Park – anti social behaviour – Police and local council will continue to liaise with the shop and Telford & Wrekin Council and monitor the area.
