Simon Harris has a proven track record of getting assets transferred to Broseley.
Below are a few things he has done to better Broseley:
* The libaray has had £40,000 of modifications allowing offices to be moved, including new flooring and heating/air con
* The library car park has had a complete resurface with lines to incorporate the friendly bus parking
* There’s now an area for cars to unload their recycling to the units
* Successfully negotiated the transfer of 2 open spaces; Guest Road and the Maypole green
Simon has a track record in getting the right deal, at the right time for Broseley and it’s people.
Certain offers have been made in regards to the drainage problem which need finalising. To do this he's asked for a years grace, so Shropshire Council can find the paperwork and allow BTC and BMPMC to organise themselves.
This petition is to give Simon Harris the support to carry out negotiation with Shropshire Council in regards to the Birch Meadow Park.
A little bit about the birch
In 1937 the Birchmeadow was gifted to the people of Broseley as an area for free recreation.

Birchmeadow Playing Field Site is a 5.3-hectare (13-acre) recreational area in Broseley, England, consisting of a mixture of woodland, play area, and a football pitch. It was also one of the first places where a wooden railway was built. The site is protected by Fields in Trust through a legal "Deed of Dedication" safeguarding the future of the space as public recreation land for future generations to enjoy.
In November 2009 the Birchmeadow Park Management Committee was awarded £115,000 from various grant bodies to improve the park. The grant was spent on a new woodland path, an archway, the resurfacing of the car park, and a new play facility on the site. The park is continuing to be developed and future projects include increasing woodland management, improving the football pitches, improving the changing rooms, and enhancing the landscaping of the park.

The momentum behind this push is undeniable and it proves that people are finished with Shropshire Council stalling on the drainage crisis. We have enough force behind us now to show these bureaucrats that we will not let Birch Meadow rot because they lost some paperwork.

Totally support this. Great pitch facilities, but the drainage needs serious attention to make usable for more of the year.
The pitches are a total swamp half the time. Something needs to change so the kids can actually play football without getting stuck in the mud. Keep at it.
Simon has done loads for the town already. Getting the library sorting out was a massive win and he clearly knows how to handle the council better than most.
The drainage problems at the park require alot of money and co-ordination to solve. Don't just expect one man to miraculously achieve this flooding issue. (But he can have a good try at it.)
Drainage a massive issue... The park can be owned by father christmas if its an unuasble park for 10months a year
Good work Simon you need all the support and have broseley at heart.go for it.
good luck Simon , i am sure that you will get it sorted

This would be a huge improvement for the well-being of our town and the younger generations in our town. At present our park and football pitches are consistently unusable throughout most of the year.
