Business Discussed

1 Apologies for Absence – Cllrs I Turner, J Wright
2 Report from the Chair of Parish Council – The Chairman gave a report of the activities of the parish council over the last year and reported as follows:

 

“During the year we received the resignation of Ricky Cawood who has moved home.   Ricky was thanked for the time and effort he put into the Parish Council.  We were delighted to co-opt our new Councillor, Helen Facer, who was warmly welcomed.

 

There were several planning application during this year, two have been withdrawn and all others received permission to proceed with their plans.

 

The White lines finally arrived after much chasing, the street lights, also after much reminding, all appear to be functioning properly.

 

It is a matter of great concern that we would appear to be continually ignored on the matter of the flooding on our roads.

Despite numerous letters from the Parish Council, there are still several outstanding areas that need to be dealt with.   It has become frustrating to say the least.   We were especially irritated at the response to our complaint about the sewer system and pumping machinery at Waters Edge.   This is ongoing and we will pursue this through all channels available to us.

 

The dog foul bins have been the subject of complaints during the year, and we are in the process of relocating the bin at Bridge end.   We are also in the process of changing the contractor as the current situation and complaints are totally unacceptable.

 

This just leaves me once again to thank my fellow Councillors and our extremely dedicated Clerk for all their hard work during the year.”
