These notes on the November meeting are being written by a little known psychic medium called "using the minutes". They will, of necessity, be brief because I was not able to attend the meeting due to an operation to put scaffolding on my leg. Sorry!
Our Clerk submitted a letter of resignation because, due to a heart condition, he feels unable to proceed with the Cilca course which is needed for our Council to become a "Quality Council". He has done this to enable the Council to search for a new Clerk who has all the necessary qualifications. After due consideration, the Council voted unanimously to reject the Clerk's resignation. If the Council wishes to apply for "Quality" status in the future, the Clerk will resubmit his letter. By the way, we have it on good authority that we are already doing everything expected of a Quality Council.
The budget was submitted and received as satisfactory and it was unanimously resolved to maintain the current precept with no increase.
The "kickwall" project is underway and is currently being priced. This will go ahead as soon as possible.
You will know by now that "Compo" has sadly ceased to be. The project became untenable due to various matters and has now had to ended. This is very bad news for us in the village and for Forward and Futures, who now have to decide what to do with the site. Suggestions welcome. (seriously!)
The Clerk is in discussions with the appropriate authorities to consider what can be done about lighting at our junctions with the A47. This will be a long process, as we think several authorities may be involved!
The dates of our 2009 meetings will be displayed on the Council notice board at the amenity area. As usual, these meetings are open to all villagers and we welcome you. The Village Assembly will be held on Monday 6th April. Please come, it's lonely without you!
May I take this opportunity to wish you all the happiest Christmas possible and a peaceful New Year from all members of the Parish Council.
