Any residents who have looked up in recent weeks to the Church tower to see what the time will have noticed the new clock faces.
The Cumbria Clock Company undertook the work. This is what they look like up close.

Sadly, there are always people who try to make money from the misfortunes of others. The Coronavirus crisis has produced a series of emails that purport to come from HM Government. They do not. Be very careful of any emails that offer money or help from a source that you do not know. If things seem to be too good to be true, they usually are.

Considering that this is one of the main approaches to the Conservation Area for residents and visitors alike Network Rail has consistently refused to re-paint the bridge. The situation has been made worse by the graffiti added recently.
(Source: Tom Ross) Tanworth Parish Council is launching the People’s Award 2020. The aim is to thank and reward those people volunteering in Tanworth who deserve recognition for community activity, environmental achievements or in some other way contribute to the life of the Parish. There will be two categories: Individual and Non-Profit Organisation or Voluntary Group. All nominations will be judged using the following criteria. Nominations do not need to meet all the criteria: each nomination will be judged on its individual merit. Nominations must be received by 10 April 2020. Presentations of awards will take place at the Parish Assembly to be held at Tanworth Village Hall on Wednesday 22 April 2020. For details of the Rules and nomination forms see website at www.tanworth-pc.org.uk.

Sadly, their geographical skills are somewhat lacking in terms of the destinations of Platforms 1 and 2 at Danzey. Platform 1 is actually for Stratford upon Avon and Platform 2 is for Birmingham.   Warwickshire Highways have now installed a new lamp post in the passageway between Bellfield and Doctor’s Close. It is hoped that adjustments can be made to the new generation LED lantern to shed more light down the passageway itself. Tanworth Parish Council, which is responsible for footpath lighting, agreed to fund the new light at its meeting on Thursday 21 November. This followed representations by several residents that children were going to and from school in the dark.

Tanworth Parish Council and Earlswood Residents Association have lobbied Warwickshire Police to take action for some time. Recently they have discovered that sometimes residents have reported a problem but it has not been logged by the police. The Parish Council, therefore, asks residents, when they have called 101 or otherwise notified the police about anti-social behaviour anywhere in the parish that they should also let the Parish Council know so it can ensure that the complaint is logged and followed up. Please telephone 703200 or email: office@tanworth-pc.org.uk. (Source: Tanworth Parish Council)
Since early July Tanworth Village Hall has opened its doors every Wednesday afternoon to enable the community to come together and join in gentle leisure pursuits. Initially, the hall committee wished to establish if there was sufficient demand to warrant heating the hall throughout the winter months to justify such activities continuing. Demand has been such that the doors remain open. Residents have been able to enjoy Bingo, Draughts (the game not a chill!), a game called ‘Frustration’(It is well named) and to stimulate memories with playing cards and the occasional quiz. In the summer we enjoyed a little light piano playing from a young talented teenager now back at school. We would welcome any local resident to come along and entertain us at the keyboard. Doors open every Wednesday afternoon at 2.30pm and close between 4.30pm and 5.00pm depending upon the state of games at the time. Refreshments in the form or tea or coffee with biscuits are provided in exchange for a small donation. All are welcome, do come along and meet old friends and make some new ones. (Source: Tony Dixon)
A resident has suggested it might be useful to set out in detail how to comment on a current planning application. The conventional way is to write to Stratford District Council at Elizabeth House, Stratford Upon Avon CV37 6HX quoting the relevant number currently 18/00000/FUL followed by some letters which describe the kind of Application. The planners tend to disregard loads of letters that are all in the same style or use the same form of words. The much easier way that allows residents to view plans and the comments of others is to go to the SDC website: Scroll down and click once on Planning And Building That opens an E Planning option Click on that and then choose View Planning Applications You are now on the main E Planning System page. Put the 18/02392/REM application number in and you can then browse the history and relevant documents relevant to the current Cank Farm application. On the right hand side is Comment. You than have access to a pro forma where you can type in comments. Be very careful to ensure that you tick the relevant option – Support, No Representation or Object Hope this is helpful

Tanworth School and Nursery is looking for a local resident to serve as a school governor. That person does not have to have an existing connection with the school. Some of the existing governors are parents who, despite all the demands of having a young family and, usually, full-time jobs, are prepared to give up their precious time to bring their unique perspective to running our school and nursery. Other governors have an education background and are able to use that experience to help shape and monitor the learning that we offer. Equally important are those who can bring a strong business background and experience to the governor role. The Chairman of the Governors thinks such business experience is essential if the headteacher and her staff are to be able to focus on helping our children to learn and achieve their best. Anyone with a business background, particularly in commercial accounting or financial management, or in buildings and asset management, either from the private or public sector, whether retired or nearing the end of a career, is particularly asked to consider becoming a school governor. For more information contact Bob Perks on 07891 432881 or e-mail him at perks_robert@hotmail.co.uk. Note that is perks underscore Robert.
