Parish needs a lengthsman

-

Barnt Green Parish Council is joining the Parish Lengthsman scheme in partnership with Worcestershire County Council.

The county, which is responsible for maintaining the highway network, acknowledges that as  it concentrates its resources on the major maintenance tasks,  it is often impractical to carry out the more minor tasks which are nevertheless often identified by the local community as important.

This scheme will  see the County Council providing up to £2,000 per year  to allow Barnt Green Parish Council to engage a local person to do minor highway maintenance  at the direction of the parish council such as cleaning dirty signs, clearing gullies and removing vegetation obscuring traffic signs.

Barnt Green Parish Council is hoping to find a Lengthsman to start work in August. If anyone is interested in applying, details can be obtained from the parish clerk at clerk@barntgreen.org.uk or by telephoning 0121 445 5433.
