Petition calling for a Master Plan to help protect the villages of Blythe Ward against over development
A masterplan to support the villages of Blythe ward must put community needs at the heart of future development. With government housing targets placing growing pressure on our rural area, it is essential that new homes are only delivered alongside the right infrastructure. First and foremost, investment in better roads and transport links is vital. Many routes are already...

BLYTHE MATTERS – My first 15 months
Working Hard for Blythe Ward
Since being elected in May 2024, I have been fully committed to representing Blythe ward. I keep residents updated through regular social media posts, leaflets, and by meeting people face to face in their streets. I also attend parish council meetings in Cheswick Green, Tidbury Green, and Dickens Heath, where I share updates and answer questions directly.
From the very beginning, I hit the ground running. The Blue Lagoon story highlighted the need for clear communication and quick action, and I have carried that proactive approach into all areas of my work....

Keith said ‘There are issues with some of these sites so it is essential we establish a Master Plan for these communities before looking to determine any new applications.’
