Current 'Work in Progress'
Children's Play Area: BPC has agreed to lease the Children's Play Area from Bicton Village Hall for a period of 10 years from 2025 in order to enable funding for its upkeep and ongoing safety.
Dog Fouling: There continue to be incidences of dog faeces being left on our paths, pavements and Village Hall field. This is not only unpleasant but it is also dangerous, particularly to children where contact can prove to be fatal.
Even more upsetting, there have been reports of instances in the children's play area!
Please ensure that you 'Do Your Duty'
Shropshire Council's 'Footpaths Officer', Tom Llewellyn tom.llewellyn@shropshire.gov.uk is keen to know if there are any missing or broken fingerposts or any stiles/gates etc. in need of maintenance.
Holyhead Road Speed Statistics: Click here for a summary of the speeds recorded over recent months to September 2025 by the three speed monitors along the Holyhead Road.
Parking by Bicton School: Vehicles are still being parked opposite the zig-zag lines outside the school at drop-off and collection times. This poses a danger to children who have access through the gate into the School Car Park. BPC is currently in discussions with our local Police Officer, PC Richard Walters, to see what measures can be taken to improve the safety of our local children.
Bicton Litter Pickers: Do you have time to help tidy up the village? We are always looking for willing volunteers to give an hour or so of their time. All equipment provided. If you can help, please contact the parish clerk.
