GMK Winter/Spring Edition - Introduction

Welcome to the first 2016 edition of our GMK Newsletter.  The Christmas and New Year festive season seems to have flown by; we are in February already and I’m sure most of us will be beginning to look forward to the lighter evenings.

Firstly, we are pleased to be able to announce the appointment of a new Council Support Officer, Jeanene Walton-Sanders, who began work in the Parish Office just before Christmas.  Jeanene has lots of office experience and is the first point of contact for Grosvenor Centre bookings.  She will be assisting the Clerk in the daily running of the Parish Office and we all wish her well in her new role. 

2016 will be a challenging year for the Parish Council with many projects and issues needing attention. We continue to make excellent progress with setting up a replacement Youth Club and will be putting a proposal together to Staffordshire County Council to establish a permanent Gnosall library service, to be run by local volunteers. We will also be applying for accreditation of the Quality Gold Award this year and work has already started on this detailed process.

Superfast Broadband arrived for some Moreton residents just before Christmas when the Great Chatwell P2 cabinet went live.  There will still be some rural properties unable to access the service due to the isolated location of their properties, but if you are having difficulties, please contact your service provider for further information.

A Highways representative has been out and noted roadway problems around Gnosall and Moreton, some of which will be dealt with in April 2016 when 2016/17 funding is released.

We are pleased to confirm we are increasing our circulation of the GMK Newsletter as we want as many people as possible to be able to have access to a copy. Its aim is to keep everyone up to date with relevant news about what’s been happening or is planned within the parish.  A big thank you to all those who have volunteered to distribute our Newsletter - we are extremely grateful for your help.  For those who prefer to read the GMK online, this can be accessed at www.gnosallparishcouncil.org.uk where you can also access archived editions or simply catch up with latest Parish Council news.
