Held on Saturday June 11th , 12/4pm 

The idea is that family groups will bring their own picnic, rugs and chairs and join in the field games i.e rounders , ball etc on Ruyton`s version of the Village Green.  Bring your own games if you have any please 

Keep your eyes open for posters appearing round the village.

It is hoped that this event, will bring all parts of the village together and lead to a bigger and more inclusive event in future years.

Lucinda will give a short  thanksgiving service in Doctor`s Meadow at 5pm

Subject: Have your say on proposals to change library opening hours

Have your say on proposals to change library opening hours  Library users across Shropshire are invited to have their say on proposals to changes to library opening hours. The consultation is in response to the further £585,000 savings that Library Services is required to make as part of Shropshire Council's £23m savings plan identified for 2016/17 in its Financial Strategy 2016/17 – 2018/19. The new times suggested in the proposals have been based on an analysis of visitor numbers to each of the libraries which was undertaken to identify the quietest periods which, according to the research, have been identified as evenings and Saturday afternoons. The proposed changes to library opening hours are forecast to generate savings of approximately £55,000 per annum. For more information, click HERE.  To view current and proposed library opening hours and take part in the consultation, click HERE. Deadline for submissions is Wednesday 6 July 2016.

IMPORTANT!

Message from Ros Slowley, citizen of Ruyton XI Towns.

You may be interested to know that our MP Owen Paterson and the Transport Minister will be visiting the A5 this Friday.  You may recall that our MP has had the dualling of our stretch of the A5 on his 'to do' list since he was elected in 1997.  We are not invited to meet the MP's (only one Parish Councillor can do that) but I have been informed that they intend to pause at Shotatton Crossroads for maybe 5 minutes at 9.30am to view the traffic.  They will then progress to look at Queens Head junction and then stop at the British Ironworks.

It may be useful if the traffic at that time could be busy.  If you are available perhaps you could think about driving from all directions to the Shotatton Crossroads at aroumd 9.30am.  Timimg cannot be precise for obvious reasons! 

If you have any useful photos of the junction or anything that might be of use to give to Mr Paterson, let me know.

I am sending this email as a resident, and not as a Parish Councillor.

Many thanks!

Ros
