“We are very happy to have been accredited the first foundation level of the award scheme.

How about they now focus on getting some much needed infrastructure in Fradley now, and push harder to stop its development into a mass housing estate with hardly any facilities. Especially those ridiculously small 2 bed houses popping up everywhere in the ‘village’. I put village in inverted commas because it’s starting to resemble anything but…
It would be helpful if they sorted the potholes out! The roads in Fradley are awful.
Gary, the roads are the responsibility of Staffordshire CC. Parish Councils are not responsible for roads. I’d say Streethay Parish Council are doing a good job for their ward and I congratulate them on their recognition.
Alicia, they might be doing a good job in Streethay, but the same can’t be said for Fradley from what I’m seeing. Maybe they should split? I see Streethay is getting funding from developers for a new community centre, what is Fradley getting exactly? Roads might be the responsibility of Staffs CC but what is the Parish Council doing to put pressure on the CC and raise awareness? Not much from where I’m standing.
