New Councillors join the Council

We are pleased to welcome three newly co-opted members to Chacewater Parish Council.

Please join us in welcoming Cllrs Rachel Sutton, Daniel Martin, and Michael Bruce, who have recently been appointed to serve our community.

Each brings their own experience, perspective, and commitment to supporting Chacewater, and we look forward to working together on the priorities that matter most to our parish.

Parish Councillors play an important role in representing all residents, shaping local decisions, and helping to drive forward community projects. We are confident that Rachel, Daniel and Michael will make a positive contribution to the Council’s work.

We wish them every success in their new roles.

Public statement on the Chacewater Recreation Centre Project
https://www.chacewater-pc.gov.uk/2026/04/15/public-statement-on-the-recreation-centre-project/

Chacewater Parish Council knows how important the Recreation Centre is to our community and understands the strength of feeling about where things currently stand. This is a project that matters deeply to the community, and to the Parish Council, and we recognise the frustration that has built up around it.

Following initial public consultation, the Parish Council secured external funding for the project and began delivery on that basis. As work progressed, the project was affected by contractor-related problems and by wider issues that disrupted the original delivery plan. The Parish Council then explored whether additional funding could be secured to help complete more of the scheme, but that did not ultimately result in the project being able to continue on the basis first envisaged. As a result, work slowed and then paused, and the Council has since been working through what is needed to establish a realistic and responsible next stage.

As a Parish Council, our focus is on moving the project forward so that the Centre can benefit the whole community as intended. That means weighing the available options carefully and making decisions that are appropriate, lawful and sustainable.

We acknowledge that the project has faced a number of significant challenges, including issues during delivery, changes in leadership and oversight, and a funding position that has become increasingly difficult and uncertain over time. These are substantial matters, and they have had a direct effect on progress, timescales and the complexity of the work still required.

We recognise that this has been a source of concern for many residents, particularly where progress has felt too slow or too unclear. The Parish Council also accepts that communication has not always been as clear or consistent as it should have been, and we understand that this has added to local concern.

Work is continuing to review the most appropriate way forward in terms of governance, funding and delivery. The Parish Council remains focused on identifying a route that is practical, responsible and in the best interests of the whole parish.

The Parish Council is keen to support a constructive conversation to move the project forward, rooted in a shared commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for the whole parish. We will continue to provide updates on the project to the community.

Health and safety at the Recreation Ground

The Parish Council would like to remind all members of the public that the Recreation Centre construction site is a restricted area, and no one is permitted to pass through the security fencing without the express permission of the Parish Council and our current site contractors.

Trespassing on the site is not only a violation of the law, but it also poses significant health and safety risks. The site is an active construction zone, and entering without proper authorisation can lead to serious accidents or injury.

We take this matter very seriously. Anyone found trespassing will be reported to the relevant authorities for further action.

We urge all members of the public to respect the boundaries and ensure the safety of everyone involved.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
