1. To receive apologies for absence
Apologies were noted from Cllr Meyrick, Cllr Churchill, Cllr Muller
2. To receive the Annual report for 2021/22 – Cllr Falder
Last year was the recovery phase after Covid and during this time the parish has recovered and regrouped. Unfortunately, the District Council has let the parish council down over the last 12 months, mainly relating to planning matters, people should be in the office or answering phones or responding to public responses. This is very frustrating that this is not the case and it is extremely difficult to have any communication with any officer. The concerns about the lack of response from the planning dept could not be overstated.
It is disappointing that as a parish, we have been unable to come together for the Jubilee event, efforts have been made but the support has been poor. There will be small individual events taking place, but no one community event has been organised.
We look forward to the trials of the speed indicator signs, speeding has been a long standing problem.
Thank you to the Clerk for her work over the last 26 years and to the District Cllrs who have responded to queries and concerns.
We are in times of change and changes are to be accepted as long as they are done in a controlled way.
3. Public Questions and comments
No questions were raised.
There being no further matters, Cllr Falder closed the meeting at 7:06pm.
