Since the Parish website has been subject to high levels of SPAM, DH is to revise the contact options to only contain an email address in future. 

8          Planning

Recent Planning applications have been received in respect of the following

  • outstanding compliance and conditions for Elmes Barn
  • a house in Castle Farm Close has requested planning approval to raise a wall to 1.8 meters

9          Roads and Fly tipping

It was reported that the potholes next to the church and in Whitewater Lane have been repaired and that no recent fly tipping has been observed.  However, it was noted that the signpost at the crossroads outside the pub requires urgent replacement as the base is badly corroded and it could topple quite easily.  JU to report this to Highways.

10        AOB

The bench to commemorate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee is to be delivered to JU in the next few days.  It is a 3-seater which cost £420 and has a plaque in honour of the Platinum Jubilee.  It is still to be determined where it is to be sited, but members of the Parish Council discussed 3 possible locations.  With the remaining allocated funds, some Jubilee Plum Trees have been ordered with a view to planting them in the Autumn when conditions are more favourable.  It was proposed that they might be planted in the Park.

11        Date of next Parish Council Meeting

This is due to take place on 6th September 2022.
