Albrighton Parish Council are keen to highlight the fantastic work Parish Council staff do for and behalf of the community. We would like to highlight the recent work conducted by our Village Warden, Kev, on the Cotswold Drive Bench.
The original bench situated on the grass verge was unfortunately unsuitable and unrepairable following a safety inspection, it was therefore cordoned off in the interim between replacement. The Parish Council try to repair and repurpose items where possible, therefore an additional bench was used from the Library garden. Rest assured, we still have 4 benches in the Library garden, so we aren’t going without by replacing the Cotswold Drive bench! Kev has done a fantastic job at sanding, painting and treating the wood to bring the bench back to life, before installing and securing the bench into the ground using metal poles for sturdiness.
We hope residents will appreciate the ‘new’ bench which is now fit for purpose and ready to be used!
Our thanks go to Kev for his hard work and commitment and we hope you will join us in thanking him!

A fantastic initiative has been put in place to provide FREE driver awareness sessions to mature residents in Telford and Shropshire. Mature drivers can experience a virtual reality film to bring awareness to the changes that happen when aging, and how this can impact on their driving.
During the session, you can expect to watch 2 short films through Virtual Reality Headset (VR Headset), these have been specifically designed to highlight areas that become more challenging as we age. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss any concerns they have, as well as understanding how to manage risks to keep driving safely.
These sessions may also appeal to family members who may have concerns or questions on behalf of older relatives who are still driving. Please note that attendees will not be assessed based on their driving and information discussed will not be reported anywhere.
