Parish council backs pedestrian crossing as A449 closure continues

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 15 Nov, 08:37 · Archive

Little Malvern and Welland Parish Council has agreed to support calls for a pedestrian crossing at Spitalfields between the school and parish hall, citing road safety concerns. At the meeting on 19 October, county councillor Tom Wells said he intended to lobby for a crossing, and members agreed to write in support of the proposal.

The council also heard that the closure of the A449 near British Camp is expected to continue well into 2027 because of the complexity of the work. A public consultation on a proposed 40mph speed restriction across Castlemorton Common was expected shortly.

On planning matters, the council agreed to object to an application for an agricultural building on land at Garrett Bank, citing concerns about the current non-agricultural use of the land, the lack of justification for the barn's size, vehicle access arrangements and the absence of an explanation for a proposed surface water lagoon. Members also agreed to support a householder application for a single-storey rear extension at Mistletoe Cottage, Hook Bank, subject to the Welland Neighbourhood Plan Design Guide being taken into account.
