1. Parish Council Meeting, Wednesday 18th
July
The next meeting of Birlingham
Parish Council takes place on Wednesday 18th July at 7.00pm in Birlingham
Village Hall. During the meeting there is an opportunity to express your views
on local issues, so please come along.
The agenda for the meeting is
available at www.birlingham.org/pc_info/pc_agenda_2018-07-18.pdf
and the draft minutes of the previous Parish Council meeting on 16th May can be

2. Road Closures
The Parish Clerk writes:
As mentioned before, there
are to be drainage works in Birlingham during July and continuing into
August.
The first closure in July is due to commence on Monday 23rd July
for up to three weeks, when the western side of the church (Rectory Lane) will
close. Traffic coming from Eckington will have to divert around the back of the
church (Church Lane). The official notice can be viewed at www.birlingham.org/docs/road_closure_2018_3.pdf.
The
other closure (commencing Monday 6th August for two weeks) is at the end of
Church Street, where the road has subsided where it meets with Short Hill. The
official notices can be viewed at www.birlingham.org/docs/road_closure_2018_4.pdf
and www.birlingham.org/docs/road_closure_2018_4b.pdf.
The
contractors will do whatever they can to do off-road works but safety for the
gangs has to be their priority and hence the closures.
The second phase,
which is more disruptive, will take place in November, when Upper End will have
to close at some stage to take the drain across the road. I will keep you
informed when I have further
information.

3. Holiday Reading
Come and get some books for your holiday from the bookshop on
your doorstep! There is a great selection in St James’ Church, fiction and
non-fiction and all at bargain prices.
The church is open every day and
the bookshop is just inside the door. Come along and have a
browse.

4. Power Failure
The Parish Clerk writes:
Western Power have
confirmed that the fire on the night of Monday 22nd May outside Birlingham
Village Hall was caused by a fault in their equipment. The connecting box has
been replaced using a different manufacturing company. Western Power say the
issue has been
rectified.
