THE fox, ryton
Condover Parish Council fully supports The Friends of the Fox of Ryton in their ongoing efforts to purchase the Fox pub. Recognizing its importance to the local community, the Council backs the group’s dedication to preserving this historic establishment.

THERMAL IMAGING CAMERA
Condover Parish Council would like to make all parishioners aware that it’s the time of year, that the Thermal Camera can be hired,
Why?
The colder evenings are the perfect time to use the Camera to take images of all possible ‘leakage’ areas, relating to gaps and draughts on your home
Simply scanning all window and door frames can pick out ‘blue areas’ where heat is escaping and remedial work may be required on your home
This can save you valuable money in ensuring your property is as wind-tight as possible, and avoid wastage of your heating
If you would like to hire the Thermal Imaging Camera, please email condoverpc@gmail.com with your name, address and contact telephone number.
We aim to respond to your e-mail within seven days

Jean Jackson 22nd March 1940 - 30th April 2024
Condover Parish Council was sadden to hear of the recent death of Jean Jackson who, amongst many other activities, served as a Parish Councillor from 2006 to 2017, only ever missing 2 meetings.
Jean played a major part in establishing the Woodland Park, as a facility for the enjoyment of the whole community. She was also a member of the Brook Close Community Housing Steering Group helping to develop affordable housing in Condover, which subsequently won the NALC Local Outstanding Project of the Year in 2016.
Jean was a well respected and active member of the Parish Council who will be sadly missed by her many friends and colleagues.
Condover BMX Track
Condover Parish Council and Sports Field Management Committee are pleased to announce the opening of the BMX Cycle Track. The track is situated at the Condover Sports Field on Station Road, next to the cricket and football pitches.
The Parish Council have been aware of the need to improve recreational facilities within the Parish, principally for 9-14 year olds, who require more challenging activities. After a period of consultation with the Community it was decided that the BMX track would best meet these needs.
The tarmac track is approximately 110 metres in length and consists of a series of bends and jumps, suitable for both beginners and more experienced riders.
The project was financed from CIL funds – money received by the Parish Council from a levy placed on Developers. These funds can only be used for projects to improve the infrastructure within the community.
