News on Shropshire Climate Action

The second Bayston Hill Green Week has been a great success with many residents and community groups taking part in a range of activities. Local businesses and environmental groups provided information and advice on supporting climate action and environmental sustainability.

Our week began with our ECO Fair held at Oakmeadow Primary School. Shrewsbury Mayor, Elisabeth Roberts visited all of the stalls with the Bayston Hill Parish Council Chair Caroline Clode and the School Community Champions.

Residents were able to access the advice of the MEA on all matters regarding energy bills and their breakdown plus available grants: 0800 677 1307 / advice@mea.org.uk

Thank you to all the people who took part in one of the 4 litter picks around the village including a very enthusiastic group of Brownies and Guides, D of E and parent volunteers! Many hands certainly made light work... Thank you to those who attended a very informative talk by Ed Andrews (Country Parks and Heritage Sites Manager with Shropshire Council) explaining the on-going management and the challenges facing Lyth Hill. Thank you to Bayston Hill Library who hosted two events. Firstly, the pre-schoolers story, rhyme and craft time(every first Tuesday of the month). Secondly, a hedgehog house workshop. Well done to all our makers – hopefully you will have some new residents soon! Keep a look out over the following months as the wildflower meadow begins to grow again at the A49 junction to the village. Many thanks to Jim, Adam, Alec and Drew from Shrewsbury Town Council, plus our Oakmeadow Community Champions who all helped to re-seed this area.
