You may be aware that the Borough Council has a Register of Locally Important Buildings and Structures and reviews the list every 2 years.
The Council would like to now invite nominations for consideration of this year’s review.  Please visit
www.newcastle-staffs.gov.uk/localregister<http://www.newcastle-staffs.gov.uk/localregister> for more information on the list, how to nominate and the buildings and structures that are already on the list and the criteria.   The deadline for nominations this year will be 7th September
2020.

You will need to apply for a building to be considered online and the form can be found on the local register page – see above link.   If
you have one, please give as much information as possible so your nomination can be properly considered against the criteria.  Buildings
should be historic,  authentic, have some architectural merit and have value to the local community.

The Borough hope to review the nominations early October with a view to Planning Committee considering the revised list for publication by the
end of the year.

The proposed development is on the land north of the A51, south of Chorlton Mill and west of the railway line. The project is contrary to the policies of the Neighbourhood Plan and the Parish Council will shortly be submitting an objection to the Planning Department.

The Parish Council has been working with the steering group of the Neighbourhood Plan and if you wish to object to this application please follow the link to the document below outlining on how best to make your views known.

A new initiative introduced by the Post Office is being rolled out to banks.  Anyone who cannot leave home may be able to ask a trusted friend or volunteer to withdraw cash at any Post Office using a single-use voucher. The Post Office scheme is being extended and offered to all banks, building societies and credit unions. If the bank allows it, someone can ask for a one-time barcode sent via text, email or post for a stipulated amount. A trusted friend or volunteer can exchange the voucher for the cash requested. Previously, only a named individual, such as a carer, could collect cash in this way on someone’s behalf. Now any trusted neighbour or volunteer can do so.

The idea of the Payout Now scheme is to allow people who are shielded or self-isolating, mainly elderly, to maintain access to cash without having to hand over a debit card and Pin to somebody else.
