Parish Council Meeting Report February 2010
The Parish Council met for its usual Thursday session on 4 February and although most of the snow had gone it was still bitterly cold.
The meeting was preceded by a number of visiting speakers who made very interesting presentations.
The first speaker was Dr.Reed from the Blackdown Healthy Living centre who gave a detailed talk about the centres activity.
The next speaker was a very concerned parent worried about the dangers of children at the pick up point by the Eagle Tavern.
Cllr. Ros Roderigo then gave a brief outline of the activity within the district.
When the meeting officially opened it was attended by five councillors with one apology for absence.
After the minutes were confirmed and signed all matters arising were discussed and it was noted that the parish were awaiting responses to their queries reference the supply of grit boxes for next year and suggestions about improvements to the bus route.
The budget update was reviewed and the meeting agreed to discuss further donations to worthy causes within the parish, among these was a request to help with the refurbishment of the war memorial.
Representations have been made to the district council with reference to the bad state of the road on Bishopswood Hill.
It was agreed to extend the use of the grazing area into the allotment area, for temporary use only.
Some items will be carried forward to next months meeting and these include parish donations and detailed discussion with reference to the proposal that South Somerset District Council enter into joint working arrangements with East Devon District Council.
The meeting closed at 9p.m.
There is a vacancy on the Parish Council for another member. It is not an arduous task and only involves one meeting per month and the chairman would be interested in hearing from anyone who would like a greater involvement in the parish activity.
Once again please note changes to meeting dates:
