Residents' Association
Chair's Report, June 2025
The VE Day celebrations were a resounding success, with a very fitting display on the Verge and a very well attended event at the Village Hall on May 8th at the end of which our beacon was lit. We were so lucky to have such a great team, led by Mary Webb to plan and deliver this event.
The IndiGo Plus bus is proving very popular and we are hoping its route will be extended with a pickup point at Hickory's. Watch this space!
We have met with James Lewis, one of the Hickory's management team recently; he is keen to develop Hickory's community engagement and together we are developing ideas about how Hickory's can support the Burton Green community. Ten new trees planted in Red Lane are thriving thanks to the residents who are regularly watering them. Many thanks.! Thanks also to the numerous residents who continue to routinely collect litter.
Balfour Beatty, HS2's contractors, estimate they will have completed their work in Burton Green by the end of 2026. The community has had to tolerate so much during the construction of the bridge, and, although we will be delighted to see them go, it is important to do whatever we can, before they move on, to continue to strongly mitigate HS2's impact on our environment. To this end, a small group is meeting with Sir Jeremy Wright MP at the beginning of June. We want his support in, for example, demanding planting is as mature as possible, and we will seek advice on the acquisition of 3 areas of land from HS2. Community control of the former village hall car park, the area on top of the tunnel and a small field next to the new village hall would leave a positive legacy for the future of our village.
