The new Strategic and Local Plan (SLP) is being drawn up as blueprint for new planning development across the combined areas of Cheltenham Borough, Gloucester City and Tewkesbury Borough councils. The SLP is intended to provide an overarching planning strategy, creating cross-boundarypolicies that will cover the whole area in addition to local policies within each local authority. A public consultation on the Strategic and Local Plan (SLP) is now open for feedback. The initial issues and options consultation will run until 12th March 2024 and will consist of drop-in events, on-line workshops on different themes and anon-line questionnaire. Information for all of these is available on the SLP website. Please visit https://strategiclocalplan.org, to learn more about the plan, submit your ideas and complete the questionnaire. Public drop-in events start next week, with the first being held at the Regent Arcade Shopping Centre on February 6th from 10.00 to 15.00.

It is with great sadness that we have learned the news of the death of our Monarch, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Most of us have not known life without her as our Queen, a Queen who led the Country and the Commonwealth with a lifelong dedication to duty, the like of which we will never see again. On behalf of Bishop’s Cleeve Parish Council and all of our residents we offer our sincere condolences to her family at this very difficult time. A Book of Condolence is available in the Parish Office for residents to sign. As a mark of respect, the Council will be flying the Union Flag at half-mast and over the coming days we will be following the national protocol to mourn Her Majesty. Anybody wishing to lay floral tributes is asked to do so at the flag pole in the Parish Garden, Church Road, Bishop’s Cleeve, but please do not leave them wrapped in paper or plastic and avoid leaving candles. Those placed outside of the designated area will be moved to the official area. All items will be removed the day after the State Funeral for HM Queen ElizabethII. In accordance with protocol all Council meetings scheduled to take place before the 26th September have been postponed. Further details of the revised dates will be available on the Council’s website shortly.
Councillor Wendy Hopkins, Chair of Bishop’s Cleeve Parish Council
