Parish Council Meeting

The Council met on 8 September 2004. The County and District Councillor and 5 members of the public were also present.

The Clerk reported that, as planned, expenditure at the year-end was likely to exceed income.

The Chairman reported that the Grovely Rd site in Barford was not acceptable to the Wilton Estate for the construction of affordable housing and that the Catherine Ford Rd site in Dinton had emerged as a clear favourite site and that the Council should support it. The Council agreed.

Cllr Coombes said that work on the Lytch Gate had started and was schedule to be finished by end October. The Council agreed to the purchase of additional special bricks to enable the entrance wall to be repaired at a future date.

Despite advertisements appearing in the local Bulletin and the WALC newsletter no applicants for the post of Parish Clerk had as yet come forward. A detailed job description had been prepared and was available by contacting him on 01722 716053. He reminded the Council that the intention was for the new Clerk to be in post in parallel with him for a period of about 2 months and that money for training had been set aside.

The Council reconfirmed its intention to purchase Christmas lights to be put up in the yew tree in the churchyard.

The Council opposed the idea of bringing forward the decision on the traffic priority system. It felt that the experiment should run for a full year as originally intended.

The next meeting would be on 10 November.
