Shustoke Parish Council is looking at the possibility of a defibrillator being installed in the telephone kiosk at the Village Green. Updates will be provided as progress is being made.
There is a defibrillator currently held inside The Plough, funded by The Plough and Shustoke Farm Barns, but access to this is dependent on the presence of staff at The Plough.
The Parish Council will hold an Ordinary Council meeting at 7.30pm Monday 13th July 2020. A link to the agenda can be found below.
Due to Coronavirus restrictions, the meeting will be held via a Zoom video conference – as permitted by emergency legislation.
Members of the public are very welcome to join the video conference, and should contact the Clerk for the relevant details – Clerk@Shustoke-ParishCouncil.Org.UK

ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR – SHUSTOKE VILLAGE
Parish Councillors are fully aware of the anti-social behaviour which has developed during the corona virus crisis, focussed mainly on the Recreation Ground and Reservoir.
The Recreation Ground gate is now locked from 6pm to 6am, and the police will be paying particular attention to the area.
The Reservoir, is private property, owned by Severn Trent. Councillors are currently liaising with Severn Trent and the police to reduce the nuisance being caused. Severn Trent will be installing a new barrier protected by CCTV, and will significantly prune the vegetation around the car park to make illegal activities more easy to spot. Before this has been achieved, the police and Severn Trent staff will increase their patrols in the area.
It is possible that further easing of the lockdown will reduce the incidence of anti-social behaviour in the Village, but Councillors will continue to monitor such behaviour and make every effort to reduce its incidence.
Shustoke Parish Councillors
Blythe Road will be closed for surface repairs from:-
9.30am to 3.30pm, 19th – 21st June 2020
and
8pm to 6am 17th to 25th August 2020.
Through traffic will be diverted via Fillongley and Meriden.
Following the withdrawal of the private company running the Village shop and hall in 2018, the Parish Council took over responsibility for the hall, with Councillor Rebecca Pugh leading a small team of Councillors undertaking the necessary work. Since then, bookings have grown significantly, and the Parish Council recently resolved to create a new Village Hall Management Committee to enable Shustoke residents to become more involved in the running of the hall, and to help maximise its use.
The Coronavirus crisis has obviously prohibited hall bookings for a period, but the new Committee hopes to re-build use of the hall as soon as practicable.
If you wish to become involved with the Management Committee, please contact Councillor Rebecca Pugh via ShustokeVillageHall@GMail.Com
Rebecca has retained responsibility for taking hall bookings, so do contact her (ShustokeVillageHall@GMail.Com) if you wish to organise a family event, run a class or hold a meeting.
