Parish
Council Meeting
The next meeting will be held in the School House
on 8 September starting at 7pm. All members of
the public are welcome.
Affordable Housing
The plan to have affordable housing built in
either Barford or Dinton (or both) but equally
available to qualifying residents from either
parish is moving forward. A note of the outcome
of a meeting on 29 July 2004, dealing in
particular with potential sites, is posted on the
notice board in the churchyard.
Fishing
Because of complaints about techniques being used
by those fishing, the Parish Council will
consider organising instructional lessons for
future years.
Village Visits
The visit by the Tisbury Sports Centre team on 26
July was poorly attended. The Parish Council pays
for these visits and will have to think hard
about whether to sponsor these visits in future.
School Field
A storage shed has been erected in the school
field alongside the pavilion. Shelving has been
purchased for the interior. This has all been
funded by the balance of R2 money received by the
Parish Council from the developers of the
cottages in Factory Lane.
Lytch Gate
Work is likely to commence in September and take
about 2 months to complete. Access to the
cemetery during construction will always be
available for funerals or visits.
Play Area/Kick-about area
Gates have been installed and will be locked at
night. The tree stump has at long last been
removed. The Burnbake Trust have been tidying the
areas and removing the thistles from time to time.
Grass cutting
The Parish Council has made representations to
Banyards about the quality of service received
this year and improvements have been promised.
Cricket Match
A match between Barford and Dinton is being
organised for 5 September on the cricket field in
Dinton to be followed by a hog roast at the
Barford Inn.
Traffic Priority System in West St
WCC have indicated that they wish to complete the
assessment of the experimental system before the
end of the year. The public meeting is therefore
likely to take place in November.
