condover parish neighbourhood plan
consultation 2024
Your Neighbourhood Plan…..What is it?
More funding for the Parish
With a Neighbourhood Plan Condover Parish Council will be able to access 25% of the funding Shropshire Council receives from new
development rather than the current 15%. This will enable us to continue to develop our community facilities, such as Dorrington MUGA (all weather playing court) the new Condover BMX track and recent upgrades to Dorrington Play Park to name a few. At the consultation events you will be asked to share your thoughts and let us know your preferred options for future housing development sites.
We have been consulting since March 2017, its now time for us all to look at themes coming out of the consultation and for you to let Condover Parish Council know which of these are important to you. At the consultation events you will be asked to share your thoughts and let us know your preferred options for future housing development sites.
It’s important you have your say!

'HELP for HEROES'
The document brings together all the men who were born or lived in Ryton and were known to have serviced in World War 1. This includes men from Ryton who were killed on the battlefield, men who served and survived, many of whom were injured, and men not originally from Ryton who served in the war and came to live in Ryton immediately thereafter.
The Campaign Medals of WW1 are also pictured and explained, together with their ‘nicknames’.
Condover Parish Council supported publication of the booklet and copies were made available free within the Parish, with a request for a donation to Help for Heroes.

There is also now a copy of the booklet in the Shropshire Archive.
The donations received to date amount to £430.00
