Binton Bridge Road Closure Update

*Welford on Avon BRIDGE*

NEW UPDATE from Warwickshire County Council ?
“The works to repair and restore Brinton Bridge South, are currently programmed to begin in mid-August and continue to March 2024. This includes a stand-down period over the winter when the temperature and river levels are not favourable for historic repair methods. These are preliminary dates, as the council is still working with the Environment Agency to develop working methods that will minimise the ecological and flood risk impact. The programme will include some periods where road closures are required, such as when the scaffolding is erected and when they repair structurally sensitive areas of the bridge.
?The road closure durations will be kept to a minimum and access to pedestrians and cyclists will be maintained at all times.
?The Council will be in touch with all the local stakeholders once the works programme is finalised and be more specific with closure and diversion route details.
?Alternative routing for public transport provision including schools will be put in place and will be established in advance.
 ?Diversion route details will be put in place and signed throughout the proposed works on the bridge and will go some way to mitigate impact on local businesses.
 ?“Pedestrian access over the bridge will be maintained during the works and couny can assure the bridge will be kept open to vehicles as much as possible.”

Kehlstein Open Space consultation

Meeting to be held at 10am on Monday, 12 June 2023 at the Memorial Hall. Village consultation on plans for Public Open Space at Kehlstein.

A window of opportunity for Welford on Avon residents to influence plans for a public play area and open space at the forthcoming Kehlstein development has arisen. The Parish Council will be future managers of the site and are therefore primary stakeholders. We have asked to consult on the plans that are currently being developed.

Public Open Space proposals are available to view under Condition 19 of the planning application 22/00005/FUL. Selected landscape and play area proposals are available via the links below:

There is to be a play area, general amenity space and an area reserved for community use.
Documents were downloaded from Stratford upon Avon District Council’s planning portal on 08 Jun 2023.

The Parish Council is very keen to hear ideas for this space from the local village community. All parishioners are welcome.

If you have some ideas, but are unable to attend the meeting, please let us know. The Parish Council can be contacted by email via the clerk@welfordonavon.com.

Background

Kehlstein is a single dwelling on the Barton Road, next to Barton Fields. It has a large garden that extends south to Samantha Close behind properties along the Long Marston Road. The development of an additional 23 dwellings at Kehlstein was approved by Stratford District Council on 30 March 2023 under planning reference 22/00005/FUL. Under the s106 agreement, the developer was required to offer the Public Open Spaces on the development for adoption by the Parish Council in the first instance. In a meeting on 02 May 2023, the Parish Council formally accepted that offer.

Email Subscription Service Issue

There is a problem with the website email subscription service which notifies subscribers by email of new events, news posts, planning applications etc. Stratford District Council IT Department are trying to resolve the problem and hopefully service will be resumed in the near future.
