Recreation
The Stoke Lodge sports field is available for hire and the Parish Clerk will deal with any enquiries.
Local Environment
Dog Poo Bins

Highways
South Gloucestershire are managing the drainage works on Shellmor Avenue and further information is available by contacting the South Glos Council.
Street Lights
If you see any faulty street lights please make a note of the lamp post number and street name and contact our Clerk who will liaise with the South Glos Council to have the light repaired.
South Gloucestershire Council is currently consulting on options to save money on their library service. Find out more and have your say by 10 January 2024.
THE COUNCIL NEEDS TO MAKE SAVINGS
The Council faces severe financial pressures and must look at opportunities to reduce what they spend to minimise council tax increases.
Included in the consultation on the Council’s budget in October 2022 was a proposal to reduce the annual budget for our library service by £473,000. See the full Presentation PowerPoint document.
