We have received an update from County Cllr Webb. Highways have raised an order to supply and fit new GPRS timers and aerials to both school flashing warning signs.
After over a year, it looks like we may be having working warning lights again.
Royal Mail are considering suggested site options and have said that if proposed sites are acceptable it could take up 12-weeks to restore postal collection services.
Management Committee Annual General Meeting
Wednesday 6th July 2022, 7.30pm, Fairfield Village Hall
AGENDA
We are on a mission to improve the state of footpaths that are alongside the roads across Fairfield, Wildmoor & Stoneybridge and we need your help to identify pavements that need repairing or have become difficult to use.
Unfortunately, we do not have the power to make the required improvements, but we will certainly lobby Worcestershire County Council.
You can report pavements that need attention by emailing admin@fvca.org.uk or pop along to a Social Gathering, 1st Wednesday of each month at the Village Hall, 10am – 12noon.
Thank you to everyone that responded to the Community Survey, your answers will be used to help shape local policies and, where possible, improve local services.
Some suggestions will need assistance with delivery and people to support so that initiatives can become sustainable.
Below, presentation video of the slides shared at the Community Gathering on Saturday 7th May. Each slide will automatically move on after 7 seconds. Please stop the video if you wish to spend more time reading each slide.

Working with local communities to build a safer West Mercia
In order to ensure the voice of the public is at the heart of policing, I am encouraging you to share your views in my latest survey.
As part of my ongoing commitment to take feedback from communities and use it to shape decision making, I am seeking views well in advance of setting next year’s budget. This survey will seek to understand what your concerns are and whether or not you are happy with how visible and accessible West Mercia Police are.
The survey is open until Monday 11th July and you can complete it by visiting www.westmercia-pcc.gov.uk

Royal Mail has sealed up the Priority Post Box in the centre of Fairfield. Please help to get this reinstated or moved to another location in the heart of the village by signing this petition. Many thanks.
Royal Mail have provided the following update:
“I’d like to take this time to inform you that; as part of our regulatory requirements, we must ensure that there’s a post-box within half a mile of at least 98% of all ‘delivery points’ (usually a customer’s letter-box) nationally.
If the current posting facilities in the above-mentioned area [Fairfield] already meet these requirements, the post box may not be relocated or replaced.
If the Manager believes the area warrants the installation of a new post-box, we’ll be required to liaise with the Highway Authority to obtain clearance for the proposed site, as well as contacting the utility companies to ensure that the proposed site doesn’t interfere with existing pipes or cables, etc. This process can take up to twelve weeks should your request be approved.
With the above in mind, if a post box hasn’t been installed within 25 weeks from today, it’s likely that the current facilities in the area already meet our requirements and a new post box isn’t warranted.”
| The litter pick and Spring Clean organised for Saturday 9th April has been cancelled. |
| Residents are encouraged to tidy the area outside of where they live; perhaps wash a few street signs. |
