| Annual Subscriptions |

The Civic Society Committee has decided that as a result of the closedown over the last six months and the likely lack of society events for the next few months we have made a decision regarding subscriptions. .
We will not seek new annual payments from September but will start the new Civic year from 1st January. Members need do nothing and your membership will continue. .
It is a great shame that our monthly talks are not currently taking place and we regret that we can’t talk to our members about local planning problems and news of town events. .
Hopefully we will be able to plan the resumption of our monthly get-togethers as soon as possible. We will send a newsletter out to Members shortly. .
Many regards

Town Council Referendum We are unable to meet as a group but Civic Society committee still discuss issues affecting Ashby. You may be aware of the new Town Council proposal to acquire Bath Grounds for public ownership. To obtain funding the Council have to hold a consultation prior to putting up the rates by a larger than normal amount. . We are not happy or in favour of some elements of the current planning application by the Royal Owners but we believe that the Council will need the additional money for when it may be used to buy the land. . Thank you to everyone who voted We await update from Town Council. Full Referendum details from Town Council Website The Civic Society has written a letter objecting to the recently submitted planning application for substantial reasons. .
