NOTES FROM THE COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON 7 APRIL 2008


VILLAGE GREEN

Following up from the previous report new equipment is scheduled to be installed on Tuesday 17th April after some unavoidable delays. This date would only be affected by very poor weather conditions as the machinery needed would get bogged down by a waterlogged site. There is a maintenance issue at present with 4 or 5 stiles near the Coombside area of the Village green and we will be attending to those problems in due course.

 

SPEEDING ISSUES

This continues to be a cause for concern and letters have been received by the council in connection with this problem. The Parish Council take the matter seriously and are keeping a watching brief on the situation.

 

PUBLIC CONVENIENCES

These have become operational again now after some problems with vandalism in March The Council has agreed a maintenance contract which will take care of this worthwhile and needed facility in the village.

 

RECYCLING BANKS

These do appear to be getting emptied now on a regular basis

 

STRATEGIC HOUSING NEED

Council looked at a paper produced in connection with the need for more affordable housing in the village this is a regional study looking and teaming up with other like Councils to assess the need for partnerships and other initiatives. This will be ongoing.
