Gritting

There have been some reports of gritting not being done where it should be.  We have seen gritters and snow ploughs in operation, but our colleagues at Worcestershire County Council need to prioritise the use of what are limited resources.  If you are concerned then please start by reviewing the information provided by Worcestershire County Council here:

Big Society - what will it mean for Lickey and Blackwell residents?

The Government in Westminster is busy preparing to bring us 'Big Society'.  How do you see that working in Lickey and Blackwell.  What do you think your Parish Council should be doing to support it?

Would you like to ask our new MP what he thinks it will mean in our community?  If yes then come along to ask him at the Trinity Centre on Old Birmingham Road in Lickey on Saturday morning at 10am.
