Corsley Show 2022
7.30 pm, Thursday 4th November* 2021, Corsley Reading Room
7.30 pm, Thursday 4th November* 2021, Corsley Reading Room
We'll be holding a public meeting to see what possibilities are out there for a new, smaller, rejuvenated Show for 2022! If you'd like to join us, or have any sparkling ideas on the way forward for the Show, do come along and share them with us!
Would you like to help out at the Corsley Show 2022? You don't have to join the committee if it's not your ‘thing’, you could just join a small team to deliver a part of the Show if that's more up your street. Don't fancy being on any committees at all? Prefer to work alone? No worries — there are loads of jobs to do supporting the different elements of the Show! Maybe you just have a few hours to spare setting it up in the run‐up to Show day, or taking it down, or maybe you have an area of expertise you think would be helpful to putting on the Show — don't be shy, come and join us!
We anticipate considerably downsizing the Show from 2022 onwards, so we're keen to hear what the residents of Corsley and Chapmanslade would like the Show to look like in the future. What attractions are people interested in seeing at the Show? Do you have some great ideas for new attractions? Does the Show cater for all ages? Is it in the right place? Is it on the right date? We're especially interested in hearing from people with new ideas and the capability of carrying them out.
We'd love to have you on board, so make a note of the date in your diary now!
7.30 pm, Thursday 4th November, Corsley Reading Room
If you would like to help, but are unable to attend this meeting, there will be a further opportunity to bring your ideas to the table!
(*The date will be re-confirmed in the November edition of The Bridge and on the Reading Room website)

Corsley Parish Council
August Brief
Co‐option to the Parish Council
Following receipt of a number of applications for co-option onto the Parish Council, the Council were pleased to invite Mrs Ruth Massey and Mrs Lavinia Mitchell to join the council.
Streetscene
David Ball, the PC rep for streetscene, reported on research he had undertaken regarding the costs for the purchase and installation of speed detector devices and also for the purchase and installation of village ‘gates’. There was some discussion as to where such gates could/should be sited and it was agreed that Wiltshire Council be contacted for any comments they may have. Decisions on the acquisition of either or both of these items will be contingent on whether any funding is available from the Council and further consideration of other calls on the PC budget.
Annual Parish Meeting (APM)
As reported in last month's briefing, the planned proposal to hold the Annual Parish Meeting (APM) on June 28 was cancelled following the retention of Government guidelines re COVID‐19. It was agreed that the APM would now be held in September.
Planning
The council considered a number of related applications relating to the erection of high welfare cattle housing at High House Farm, Dertford. No objection was raised to these applications albeit there were some concerns relating to:
- the additional ‘waste’ that will be generated and how this is to be dealt with
- the additional movement of heavy agricultural traffic on a narrow road which already suffers from this type of traffic and which at certain times of the year is also subject to significant caravan traffic
- the visual impact.
With the increased emphasis on ‘carbon neutrality’ it was surprising that there was no carbon impact statement or solar panels on the roof.
Dates of future meetings
All meetings begin at 7.30pm, in the Lower Room, Corsley.
Occasional Meeting Monday 4th October
Quarterly Meeting Monday 6th December
