NOTES FROM THE COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON 10 DECEMBER

VILLAGE GREEN

The Council has learned that the decision on the availability of funding for the project to provide new play equipment on the Green will be taken on 21 January 2008.  If the decision is favourable, it is hoped to get the equipment installed in April so that it is available for the forthcoming summer. 

VILLAGE MAINTENANCE

The Council agreed some slight amendments to the scope of the contract for maintaining the edges of the Village Green and grass verges in various locations: quotations are now being invited for this work.  Regrettably, the Contractor who carried out the work last year (to a very high standard) has decided that he does not wish to continue.

BRENT CORNER NOTICE BOARD

Further to the note in last month’s issue, a new location for this Board has now been provisionally agreed and it is hoped that the Board may even have been re-erected by the time these notes appear.

REVIEW OF EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERNAL AUDIT

The Council has a duty to review the effectiveness of its internal audit and financial control procedures each year. The meeting received a report from the panel of Councillors convened to carry out the review, who concluded that the current system was fully effective and properly protected the Council’s interests.

PLANNING (including cases considered on 19 November)

The Old Stables, Church Lane: conversion of loft to living accommodation: concern to be expressed about the impact of the proposed dormer windows on the street scene, and the potential for overlooking neighbouring properties.
