Update - the new path at Annscroft play area has been completed! It will make it much easier for people with pushchairs, bikes and wheelchairs to access the play equipment at the top of the field. The grassed area alongside has been reseeded and will soon recover.
Shropshire Council has started work on the traffic calming measures in Longden. They are still waiting for some key equipment so the scheme will not be completed during half-term but the disruptive road closures are being carried out whilst the roads are quieter.
Update and Call for Sites The Neighbourhood Plan steering group has agreed a set of criteria to assess sites for housing. If you believe you have land suitable for development, in line with those criteria, please contact the Parish Clerk by 29th August 2025.
Longden Parish Council will have two vacancies for the Hook-a-Gate ward with effect from 6th May due to an insufficient number of candidates standing for election. Applications are invited from residents and others qualifying for election. Further information is available from the Clerk.
The nomination period for parish and unitary elections on 1st May has now closed. The persons nominated are shown on the attached files. The parish elections will be uncontested as there are fewer candidates than seats, so all will be elected unopposed. The unitary election will be contested.
On Thursday 27th February we welcomed residents, landowners and businesses to a drop-in event to ask for comments on our draft Site Assessment Criteria. We are aware that not everyone was able to attend so have made the survey available online until 31 March 25.
