Residents living in Norton Canes have expressed their views on the proposed design for the new play area at The Cema – Chapel Street Park.

Cannock Chase Council’s Portfolio Holder for Health and Wellbeing, Councillor Val Jones, and the Leader of the Council, Councillor Olivia Lyons, have jointly written to the Chief Executive of The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust to raise concerns that Cannock Chase Hospital’s Minor Injuries Unit remains closed.

The Trust decided to close the unit temporarily in order to transfer its staff to other critical areas of the hospital in response to COVID-19 pressures. 

Cannock Chase Council is trialing new smart jumbo bins in three locations across the District to reduce littering.

The jumbo bins have been positioned in high volume areas that have experienced overflowing in past due to the frequency of them being emptied. These areas are Mount Road in Etching Hill, Bideford Way on the corner of Banbury Drive, Cannock outside the shops and Sharon Way, Hednesford, also outside the shops.

The jumbo bins will hold 240 litres of rubbish in comparison to a normal litter bin which only holds 112 litres.

Residents living in Norton Canes are being asked for their views on the design of the new play area at The Cema – Chapel Street Park in Norton Canes.

Young people from South Staffordshire College Futures group have received awards this week after volunteering in Cannock Park.

Cannock Chase Council has officially opened the new cemetery for the residents of the District.

Local community groups, organisations and businesses are being encouraged to develop challenges that will feature on the Council’s new Cannock Chase Can App.
