Update on latest housing planning application on Collingham Lane

We can now report that, with regard to the planning application from Gladman for c.80 dwellings along Collingham Lane, Long Itchington Parish Council has resolved to OBJECT to this planning application. You can view the details on the SDC planning portal - apps.stratford.gov.uk/eplanningv2

The application number is 26/01718/OUT

It is important that residents put their views forward to Stratford District Council.

The official deadline for submissions on behalf of the Parish Council is 30th September and it would be good, if residents wish to submit a response that you do so as close to that date as possible, but, unlike the rules for parish councils, submissions from residents will be accepted after that date.

We will be publishing our reasons for our OBJECTION on Thursday 1st October.

If you have any questions on this please contact [email protected]

Long Itchington BookHub: Special Children’s Book Sale

The Long Itchington BookHub second-hand bookshop & lending library, based at Holy Trinity Church on Church Road, will be open for an extra children’s book sale on Wednesday 5th August from 12 noon to 4pm. We have had several excellent children's book donations from generous villagers over the last few weeks, but we haven't got enough shelf space for them all – so please come and pick up some bargains to keep the kids entertained over the summer holidays. To mark the occasion, you can buy any 2 children’s books and get 1 free!

We have a wide range of titles, from board books for babies and toddlers, through to large format hardback and paperback picture books, early reader collections, pre-teen and teenage fiction, plus some young adult and fantasy fiction, so there’s something suitable for all ages. Special boxed collections include titles by Jill Murphy (the Worst Witch series), Dick-King Smith and Michael Morpurgo.

And while the kids are browsing their shelves and baskets of books, there’s the usual selection of paperback and hardback adult fiction and non-fiction on offer, plus the odd jigsaw. Put the date in your diary – we’d love to see you there 😊.

For further details about the Long Itchington BookHub, contact manager Steve Mitchell on 07717 213182 or email [email protected]

We urge everyone who has contact with young people to warn them of the very real dangers of lighting fires. This warning follows several reports from residents who have seen young people lighting fires in play areas, at Green End, LILAC field, by the river and in wooded areas. We ask parents and carers to speak with youngsters about the serious consequences of lighting fires.

If you see such an incident, call 999 for the Fire Brigade. You can also report to 101. For further advice please contact the parish council.
