☀️ Lime Down Solar Park: Hearing Update

The most recent round of public hearings for the proposed Lime Down Solar Project wrapped up last week as part of the ongoing Planning Inspectorate examination.

Local representatives, including South Cotswolds MP Roz Savage, the Stop Lime Down campaign group and Debbie Lawley, Chair of our Parish Council, strongly voiced our community’s concerns. Key discussions centred around the compulsory acquisition of land, environmental impacts on our rural landscape, food security, and local transport infrastructure.

Further public hearings are scheduled for September, with a final recommendation expected by October 21. If you want to dive into the full details, links to the official documents are available via the recent Parish Council news item.

🚧 Heads Up: Upcoming Road Closures (Vistry Site)

A quick logistical warning for the weeks ahead: there will be a series of road closures later in August related to the ongoing infrastructure works at the Vistry development site.

Exact dates, diversion routes, and timing updates will follow shortly on the Parish Council noticeboard as soon as they are finalised. We will also be talking to the bus timetable people to see what service can be offered during those closures.

Finally, ⚽ Come On, England!

Have a wonderful week, everyone!
