We understand that the Planning Inspectorate has received an intention to appeal the refusal by CWaC of planning application regarding Northgate Field – 17/01595/out.
To date the Parish Council has received no formal notice of this intention, but we feel, in light of the likelihood of an appeal proceeding, that we should hereby inform Parishioners.
Once we have formal notification we will issue an update.
One of our residents wishes to donate two stone plant troughs to the Village Hall and we are in need of a couple of strong chaps, although chapesses are not exempt, and a trailer to uplift from Quarry Bank and put into position around our Village Hall in Utkinton.
If you can help, please get in touch with the Chair – Frank Tunney on utkintonpc@gmail.com or 07860 917446.
Thanks in advance
There will be pictures galore soon but we just thought it appropriate to add a shot of ‘the builder’ deftly laying the mortar bed …

We have received a road closure notice re the above.
Stable Lane will be closed from 4th May to allow United Utilities repair a burst water main.
It is anticipated that the work will last approximately 8 days but they have permission to close the road for a maximum of 21 days.
Please see the attached closure notice and diversion route.
Tomorrow is our AGM and Annual Parish Meeting combined with the monthly Parish Council Meeting.
Residents are welcome to come and, for the beginning of the meetings, participate and comment – after all we are YOUR Parish Council and work on your behalf.
The venue of the meeting has been changed to Utkinton Village Hall whilst the initial works for the extension to Cotebrook Village Hall take place. Its for one month only and we will revert to the ‘normal’ schedule of meetings.
It starts at 7:00 to give us time to get through all the business and we look forward to seeing any residents who wish to attend.
Just a gentle reminder that John Street and Willington Road will be closed for resurfacing tomorrow (Tuesday 8th May). We understand that Northbrook Road and Northgate will be open, so watch out for increased traffic, particularly with children going to and from school.
Rose Farm Shops will be open as normal – please spread the word.
I have to say that I haven’t been around for much of the day but I was disturbed when I received an impassioned call from a local business complaining of the huge impact that the closure for resurfacing has had on the business. I have written to CWaC asking why the ‘Businesses open as usual’ signs weren’t up all day, but when I arrived home late this afternoon I stopped to ask the contractors what the situation was – obviously they hadn’t finished! But they were just reopening the road.
The response was that John Street and Willington Road would be open over the weekend and closed again on Tuesday. I will post again on Tuesday morning once I can find any information.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.
