PC Meeting Tonight, reminder
Just a quick reminder that the Peak Cluster Proposal will be discussed at the PC meeting tonight.
Peak Cluster reminder and petition
Just a reminder about the Peak Cluster consultation and in-person event this afternoon/evening in Macclesfield, see link below.
Peak Cluster Carbon Capture Project
Another major project has been proposed that will have a huge impact on our village, the Peak Cluster Carbon Capture Project.
The idea is to capture the co2 from the cement and lime industries in the Peak District and transport it via a pipeline to be “locked away” under Morecambe bay.
The proposed route of this pipeline runs right through Mottram St Andrew.
A public consultation has now started and runs until 27th February and there is a drop in event for this area, with details below and a link to the consultation page on the Peak Cluster website.
| Macclesfield St Alban’s Catholic Church 39 Chester Rd Macclesfield SK11 8DJ |
Wednesday 4th February | 5pm – 9pm |
If anybody wishes to contact me with regards to this then please email at cllr.levis@mottramstandrewpc.org.uk
Proposed Adlington New Town
We have created a new page on the website where we will post any relevant information regarding the proposal for a new town in Adlington and the fight to stop it.
ADLINGTON NEW TOWN PROPOSAL
The majority of residents will have heard about the recent proposals from the Government New Town Task Force to designate Adlington as a site for a New Town containing 14,000 to 20,000 houses. The Parish Council will debate this issue at their next meeting on 17th November 6-30pm, Village Hall, when any concerned residents are welcome to attend. The Councils main focus will be to protect the interests of all residents of Mottram St. Andrew/ Newton and the surrounding area in opposing the destruction of the green belt and the Urbanisation of our environment. Rest assured that in the interim the Chairman, Councillors and Clerk will be monitoring all developments and assessing the need for any swift response which will be instigated, if required. The Council have, in anticipation, advised surrounding Parishes and the Borough Councillor that they will work in conjunction with them in opposing this scheme.
Parish Clerk Vacancy
The Parish Council are looking for a candidate to take over the role of Parish Clerk.
Our current Clerk has agreed to remain in post till a suitable applicant is found and will work alongside his replacement to ensure a smooth take over. Experience is not essential as training will be made available at the Parish Council’s expense. Computer literacy, organisational and interpersonal skills are however an integral part of the job. The majority of the work is conducted from home with 6 meetings a year to attend and minute. An appropriate salary will be agreed taking into account qualifications and experience with all necessary equipment being provided and all expenses being paid.
Anyone interested please contact Chairman Simon Lane at Cllr.Lane@mottramstandrewpc.org.uk or Ron Taylor at clerk@mottramstandrewpc.org.uk (07802356251)
