We’ve been campaigning (for 18 months!) to get some fencing around the back of the pavilion piece to stop it getting vandalised. Some fencing has finally been put up. It’s not as substantial as we’d have hoped, but it’s a start!
The conservation area lighting on the Chester Green Road side of the green is to be put on the St. Pauls Road side of the green as well. The council have also promised lighting fit for a conservation area throughout Chester Green, although some of the lights seem to have been changed already, this seems to be in error the council are aware of…..watch this space!
After much behind the scenes work, the LCRA have managed to get the cycle path signs changed from the standard blue ones to signage designed for conservation areas. We think it looks much better!
Last year, Pocket Panto performed a production of Dick Whittington which was brought to Chester Green Community Centre.
This year Pocket Panto are bringing a new show, “Aladdin”, to the Chester Green Community Centre on Sunday 30th March at 2pm. Doors open 1.45pm. Tickets £4 Adults, £3 Children, available on the door on the day. To reserve call: 07861 377228.
It’s a magical 1 hour show for all the family packed full of songs, dancing & comedy. Using a cast of three professional actors who play multiple roles, we bring all the quality of a large scale production to a small venue using lavish costumes & enchanting scenery. Further information about the company can be found on the website www.pocketpanto.co.uk
I thought it was about time I found out how many people visit this site and how often. Please, could you let me know using the poll below……pretty please…..pretty please with sugar on top……
Many thanks

They will accept comments until 12/11/2007. More details on the consulation itself can be found here.
If you’re stuck for something to say, have a look at the evening telegraph letter written by local resident, Elwyn Kitchen here.
The planning application appears to be in for the additional ‘vehicular access’ part of the plans. The planning reference number is 09/07/01696 and it can be viewed on the e-planning site here
The consulation letters have gone out to a very small number of neighbours, so please do add your comments by clicking at the bottom of the page linked above 😉 Without this vehicular access planning consent, I don’t think the build can go ahead. Do we have parking for another 3 houses and 5 flats on camp street?
The plans for the houses and flats can be found here. Note there were 15 letters of objection to these plans. It was still granted.
However, condition 6 states:
6) No dwellings shall be occupied until, after the granting of planning permission, a vehicle access / egress has been installed on Mansfield Road to serve the remaining public house car park. Precise details of the layout of the remaining car park shall also be submitted to and agreed in writing by the Local Planning Authority.
