June 2015 Council meeting

It was a full and varied Council meeting this month.  Several significant decisions were made.  Council:

  • agreed to a donation of £200 towards the summer reading challenge at the library;
  • noted receipt of a letter from the new MP, Lucy Frazer, and agreed to invite her to meet the Council and the community in August;
  • decided to purchase a Piaggio Ape 50 3-wheeler pick-up for the ground staff;
  • authorised the installation of new fencing at Homefield Park and at Manor Field/St Audrey’s Close; and
  • agreed in principle to pay the premium necessary to ensure that all new lights on The Green will be of ‘heritage’ design.

Council reviewed the County Council’s planning application for the temporary class rooms at the Junior School to address the capacity problem at the Infants School.  It proposed a number of conditions to ensure that road safety issues would be addressed.

It also noted the County Council’s open consultation on its ‘local flood risk management strategy’ end date is 14 Jul 15 and Council will be responding.  Residents are also encouraged to respond directly if they wish. There’s more information at http://bit.ly/1GKonIo.

And finally Council was given a heads up regarding a biodiversity project which will see several grass verges in the community developed as wild flower havens.
