Subject: Sewage Treatment Plants in Kinnerley.

Shropshire Towns and Rural Housing (STAR Housing), on behalf of Shropshire Council, is working with SLC Property to conduct a review of sewage treatment plants including plant/plants in Kinnerley. Staff members from SLC Property will be in the Pen Teg area of Kinnerley in the coming days. They will not need to knock on doors, require access to properties or ask any questions as they should be able to locate the plants independently.

Residents living near the plant locations have been notified by letter to expect staff members around the sewage plants. The letters also include pictures of the two SLC Property staff members who will be in the area. We have included a copy of the letter with this email for your reference.

Could you please send across to your members and if there are any questions or anyone would like further information, please do not hesitate to contact me, Janet Lamb, Assets and Estates Officer, on 01743 210212 or email janet.lamb@starhousing.org.uk.

Green GEN Cymru is developing a new electricity connection between the proposed Grug y Mynydd collector substation
near Cefn Coch in Powys to a new National Grid substation at Lower Frankton in Shropshire. This would add needed local electricity capacity to unlock clean, renewable energy for communities and businesses.

The NHS needs your input!

A new survey is now open to help shape the future of emotional wellbeing and mental health services for children and young people in Shropshire, Telford, and Wrekin.

This initiative builds on previous feedback that has already made a difference, ensuring that the voices of young people, parents, carers, professionals, schools, and volunteers continue to guide how these essential services are planned and delivered.

Your feedback is vital to ensuring that services are accessible, effective, and focused on what matters most to children, young people, and their families. By sharing your experiences and ideas, you’ll play a key role in shaping services that meet the diverse needs of our community.

Who Should Participate:

  • Children and young people. Please note if you are under the age of 16, please ask a trusted adult to help you complete the survey on your behalf.
  • Parents and carers.
  • Professionals, schools, and volunteers who support children and young people.

The survey is anonymous, and your responses will help ensure diverse representation, guiding future improvements and decision-making.

Your responses will remain anonymous, and demographic information will only be used to help us ensure that the responses we receive reflect the diverse range of people who use these services. For more information about how we handle and process data and information, please click here.

This survey will remain open until Friday 7 March 2025. Please find further information and access to the survey here:

Have Your Say: Help Shape the Future of Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health Services - NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin

Let’s work together to build a brighter future where every child and young person has access to the emotional wellbeing and mental health support they need to thrive.

Shropshire Council and its partners have launched new webpages to highlight the community and family support on offer in hubs all over the county. 

The community and family hubs are located in Shrewsbury, Oswestry, Bridgnorth, Market Drayton, Highley and Ludlow, with activities and guidance available to help families and residents stay healthy and connected. 

There is a wide range of support on offer based on feedback from communities, from early help for families, domestic abuse support, help to stop smoking, information and housing and more, for all ages, which all links to NHS integrated neighbourhood teams. 

Whilst much of the support is already ongoing, the new webpages bring the services together to one online space, so people can easily search and find what they need. 

 

Find the pages and share with your communities: https://next.shropshire.gov.uk/customer-services/community-hubs/
