The newly refurbished “Welford Butchers & Deli” is planning to open for business on Thursday 11th July subject to completion of all renovations.

As the name implies there will be a Delicatessen on offer and you will also be able to pick up a coffee with your shopping. The shop will be managed by Will Binley who many will remember from his time at the Butchers with Colin Smith and subsequently as manager of The Shakespeare Inn.

Welcome back to both Will and the Butchers.

The Parish Council have prepared two important planning updates. With support from objections by local residents the Gladman application for 35 houses on Milcote Road has been rejected. However, a new application for 10 houses at the Weston House site on the corner of Milcote Road now needs your support to ensure this application is not approved.

Objections to the Weston House development can be submitted online at https://apps.stratford.gov.uk/eplanning/. The application number to search on is 19/01363/FUL.  Alternatively objections can be posted to –  Stratford District Council Planning Dept, Elizabeth House, Church Street, CV37 6HX
