16 ITEMS FOR NEXT MEETING.

The post Parish Council Meeting September 2025 appeared first on Pant Today - About the village of Pant in Shropshire.

Situated outside Pant Memorial Hall, the shelter is on the south bound side of the A483 but can be used by those waiting to go north towards Oswestry.

Discussions are currently taking place with Tanat Valley which operates local buses to request that the bus should stop opposite, if requested.

As residents and visitors will know, buses are not that frequent and as Sean from the Memorial Hall committee said, a shelter might encourage more people to use the bus locally or when visiting the Memorial Hall.

Funding for the shelter came from the parish council using money from local development.

Said Alice Bond, chair of the parish council: “The Llanymyench and Pant parish council are pleased that we were able to help fund and plan the new bus shelter located by the villlage hall in Pant for the benefit of the community.”

In due course, a timetable will be hung up in the shelter but in the meantime visit www.tanat.co.uk or https://traws.cymru/en/services/LLCO/T12 where you can track the T12 bus between Machynlleth and Wrexham in real-time.

National Highways add they always aim to work to programme, however unforeseen circumstances or adverse weather conditions may mean changes.

The post A483 night time closures appeared first on Pant Today - About the village of Pant in Shropshire.

Following the introduction of a 20 mph zone in Llanymynech in Wales, National Highways are proposing to reduce the currently 40 mph section south of Pant to 30 mph.

This will, it is hoped, reduce the incidence of people breaking quickly as they approach the 20 mph limit in Wales and also quickly accelerating from the 20 mph to 40 mph towards Pant.

We will update this article when we get more information.

16 ROCKWELL MEADOW.

The post Parish Council Meeting July 2023 appeared first on Pant Today - About the village of Pant in Shropshire.

Under reference 23/02064/TEL, the application is for a mast on the land that borders the Village Green, on the left hand side of the road heading north through Pant.

According to the Parish Council, they have suggested a number of other sites for the mast including sharing with the mast on the other side of the road near Stargarreg Lane.

Feeling at the meeting was that the site is not suitable due to its proximity to residential properties and the open space of the village green, which is a community space.

The 15 m tall pole would be sited next to the path through the village and a number of boxes would need to be installed at ground level.

Members of the public can leave comments and observations on the Shropshire Council Planning Portal website here.

16 Wildlife Crime Report.

The post Parish Council meeting June 2023 appeared first on Pant Today - About the village of Pant in Shropshire.

Following news that the Government has deemed a Llanymynech and Pant bypass ‘not a priority‘ Helen – along with local residents – says that there is still a lot that can be done to make the A483 safer for drivers, visitors and residents.

Helen is calling on National Highways to introduce lower limits between and through villages on the A483, and for urgent action to improve safety at the infamous Llynclys Crossroads. She has launched a petition for residents to sign and back her campaign, putting pressure on the organisation to make changes.

Asked by Pant.Today about progress with the petition, Helen Morgan MP said: “Thank you so much to the over 200 Llanymynech, Llynclys and Pant residents who have signed my petition to sort out the A483.

“The danger posed by the road is a constant for those who live along it, and National Highways need to take local concerns seriously. I’d urge people to keep signing and sharing the petition around, as the more support we get the higher our chance of being heard.”

Residents can sign the petition at https://www.helenmorgan.org.uk/a483.
