Back in the early part of the year, Madeley Town council working along withTelford & Wrekin Council environment services jointly set about somelandscape improvement works on a number of our prominent gateway traffic islands.

The principal aim of the works was to thin out and remove the unwanted under growth which was restricting the space and height of the more highly valued native trees. These works will help to promote new growth and restore the natural shape to the trees that have been chosen to retain, as a direct result of the improved natural day light that will now benefit the remaining trees.

The tree thinning works were planned and carried outside of the bird nesting season so as to not impact any possible nesting. Once completed a thorough litter pick was carried out and various bulky items removed that had beendeposited and had remained hidden for many years.

In recent months an exciting new group which was formed from Legacy funding through ‘Telford @50’ last year was the ‘Telford Woods’ Social Enterprise; a partnership between Telford & Wrekin Council and the Small Woods Association, which is based at the Green Wood Centre in nearby Coalbrookdale.

Working alongside Telford MIND services located at Court StreetMedical Practice, Madeley, which acts as a source of referrals of participants for the various woodland projects that have now got underway.

Back in January saw one of the early sessions of this group carry out a litter pick on Madeley Court Pitmound and as you can see there was a really good turn out which resulted in approximately 25/30 bags of litter being picked during a two hour session.

Many thanks to all who came along on the day to assist in what proved to be a successful session and as you can see the van was completely full by the end of the afternoon.

For more up to date news on how the group is doing please follow them on www.facebook.com/telfordwoodforgood

When Telford Mind moved into the new Court Street Medical Practice building by the ski slope, little did the organisation know that a fantastic partnership would develop.

The partnership between Telford Mind and Court Street Medical Practice is known locally as Court Street Community and, since starting in May 2018, has supported over 1200 people with mental health support, one-to-one sessions, coffee mornings and peer-led groups. This offers sustainable support to people who benefit from it most.

Practice Partner, Dr Teresa McDonnell, says: “When we started this venture, we had no idea it would turn into the success it has. It means patients can be supported in different ways as well as medication in a safe, friendly and welcoming environment. Working with Telford Mind means that mental health is right at the heart of everything we do.”

The Wellbeing Centre is fully funded by the practice while Telford Mind rely on local fundraising to ensure they can continue to offer the vital support people need.

Anstice Community Trust (ACT) is very pleased to welcome Gemma Aston as the newly appointed Centre Director. Gemma comes to the Anstice from Ironbridge Gorge Museums, where she has spent the last 5 years as Conference and Banqueting Manager.

Gemma started her career as a professional actress; having trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London. During her time as a jobbing actress she also worked as a theatre technician and sound engineer. After starting a family, she taught Drama before creating a professional touring Theatre Company.

Before moving to Shropshire with her family, Gemma ran a Community Arts Centre in Surrey where she helped develop their café, learning studio and theatre space into a thriving community hub with a successful programme of events.

Although Gemma was born in Surrey, she has a very strong connection with Shropshire and Madeley in particular. Her father John Aston was brought up on Coalport Road, next to the All Nations, where he lived with his grandparents Joseph Edward Geary Aston, who was a kiln man at Coalport and Doris Gertrude Aston (nee Whittingham) who was a china painter at Coalport. His aunt Ina and uncle Clyde (amongst 3 other aunts and uncles!) also lived in the house and Gemma would be fascinated to know if anyone knew them or has heard any stories about them!

Gemma’s father went on to study at Shrewsbury Art School, where he met Gemma’s Mum, Martina. After marrying and starting a family, John and Martina moved to London but now Gemma’s daughter is studying Graphics at Shrewsbury College, the same building where her grandparents met!

Gemma is very excited about her new role at the Anstice “My Dad would have been so proud to know I was going to be working for the people of Madeley and running the Anstice. It feels like I have come home!” She goes on to say “I can’t wait to get stuck in to this project. It’s going to be a challenge at times, but with the support from the community and Madeley Town Council, I know it will be a huge success! I am committed to making this a venue for the community run by the community, keeping the stories of the past alive whilst looking to the future through a great new programme of events and performances.”

Gemma’s post is funded for 3 years, thanks tothe Power to Change, National Lottery fund.

The clearance of the known asbestos has been successfully completed by CES. This does not mean that we are necessarily totally clear of asbestos as more might be uncovered as the major strip out begins.

Work has now started on stripping out of the downstairs area which will begin to reveal the hidden beauty and true significance of the Anstice. Removal of the wooden cladding that was installed in the 1960’s has already revealed lovely painted brickwork as well as unexpected windows and archways that had been blocked in and hidden from view. Every effort will be made to retain and incorporate these features into the refurbished building, where practicable.

You may have also seen on the car park that the foundations for the new lift have been started. The work is being checked by an archaeologist to make sure that the excavations do not reveal anything of historical importance. Again, we thank you in advance for your patience and co-operation during these essential works to bring this building back into full use and accessible to the whole community.

We will try to keep any disturbance to a minimum. However, if there is a problem, please contact Pave Aways site manager, Tony Martin on 07738800344 or you can email tony.martin@paveaways.co.uk

Sutton Hill Village GreenApril 2019 UpdateThe Sutton Hill Village Green Committee has been ‘hibernating’ for the last two years – still functioning if you look closely enough, but waiting for the spring to burst into life. For the Village Green ‘spring’ comes in the form of a coordinated, long term plan for the whole site which builds on Q Hotel’s and Telford & Wrekin Council’s past support as its land owners. As owners they retain responsibility and liability for the site, making it essential that we have agreement on how tasks are allocated and identify appropriate opportunity for the community to be involved in its management.

‘Spring’ has now arrived for the Village Green in more ways than one. As flowers are blossoming so is the plan under the expert guidance of an ecologist from Telford & Wrekin Council. Hotel management, T&WC, Madeley Town Council, Hub OnThe Hill and the SHVG Committee are all involved. The Sir Alexander Fleming School is being consulted about how the Green might best benefit our children. The plan will be made public and feedback will be welcomed. No big changes will be proposed and in the meantime some works such as creating wildflower beds and refreshing the wood-chip footpaths are being organised.

Whilst we don’t have carpets of woodland flowers yet, plantings from previous years are showing signs of spreading with notably more bluebells and snowdrops springing up in the Sutton Way woodland area. Crocus and daffodil plantings have continued to provide early colour. The village green is for the benefit of the whole Sutton Hill community and visitors, with pleasant paths, attractive views, wildlife in all its forms, and providing a springboard for appreciating the varied opportunities offered by our wider green environment. As such we ask that everybody plays their part in protecting the area for the enjoyment and benefit of all users, including its wildlife.

There is a small group of local people involved in the ongoing management of the Village Green and we are currently looking for new members. Involvement could mean coming along to a site work party, helping communicate the future vision for the site, making records of wildlife seen or supporting others using the site. Ring 01952 585529 or 276391 if you would like to register your interest.

Please keep a lookout for the proposed Village Green Management Plan being publicised and for notice of the Sutton Hill Village Green AGM when we would welcome new supporters.

The Hub on the HillOver the last few months the Hub on the Hill has been very busy and there have been a number of changes. We would like to welcome Hannah who is our new operations manager, I am sure the regular users have already met Hannah but if you wish to know what is happening at the Hub please pop in and see her.

Recently we have had a lot of activity in the centre and this has included the opening of our new kitchen within the café. The bigger kitchen means that we can now offer a wider menu as well as catering for events. As well as the new kitchen we will soon be starting the final phase of the refurbishment of Severn Walk, this will provide us with new modern meeting rooms for people to book as well as a new training kitchen for people to come and learn to cook in.

Recently we were lucky to be part of the Depave project with Shropshire Wildlife Trust in partnership with the Environment Agency. This has meant that we now have a lovely new courtyard area for local people to enjoy. The courtyard now has a number of raised beds full of plants including fruit alongside our own bug hotel which we are all keenly watching to see who takes up residence.

As well as the changes to the Hub itself, a number of activities have taken place including a family disco, arts and crafts in partnership with Sutton Hill Church, and an Easter Egg hunt on Good Friday. Over the next few months we have some big plans including the opening of the youth club for a second night in September. We are also planning our summer Fit N Fed programme which this year will run for 3 days a week during the middle 4 weeks of the school summer holidays. These activities will also include a family day once a week so that more people can get active.

It is exciting times for the Hub on the Hill so please follow us on facebook to keep in touch with all the activities and please pop in to see Hannah and the staff.
