Affordable Housing
As a result of the Government's White Paper a survey was carried out within Clent Parish to ascertain if there was a need for affordable housing. It was proven that a need existed for persons who had connections with the Parish and wished to reside here, but could not afford to buy at todays market prices.
West Mercia Housing, a non profit organistaion, has been very active looking at any site that would be suitable, from a sustainablity point of view and acceptable to Bromsgrove District Council.
The Parish Council resolved to support an application for eight units on Centenary Field bordering Holy Cross Green. An application will be submitted in due course to Bromsgrove District Council.

HIGHWAYS
Bromsgrove Road - County Councillor, Ed Moore has assured the Council that the flashing 30mph signs will be installed by 'The Old Chapel' . The Parish Council will continue to press for an additional sign at the junction with the A491, but apparently during speed checks most drivers were observing the 30mph limit, which means that this sign is not high on WCC list of priorities.
BROMGROVE RURAL RIDES
