At the Full Council meeting on Monday 19th, Hollinswood & Randlay Parish Council formally resolved to OPPOSE to the Telford & Wrekin recommendation which is to merge our Parish Council with Stirchley & Brookside Parish Council.
There was a lengthy debate about the proposal which Councillors believe will create a parish council which is too large and will result in communities losing their identities. There was further concern regarding the reduction in number of Parish Councillors and the change of name of the council – both of which bring into question local representation and democracy.
YOUR VIEWS DO MATTER
The Parish Council strongly urges everyone in the parishes to respond to the consultation – the Telford & Wrekin Council Boundary Review Committee confirmed that the final decision will be based on the public opinions collected through this consultation process.
Please let them know your view on the recommendation.
