Report: Parish Council Meeting June 30th
The Parish Council met for its AGM on the 27th of May in the Village Hall.
AGM
Louise Appleton has stood down as chair after 2 years of outstanding service. We are pleased that she will stay on as a councillor and would like to thank her for keeping us in order and representing the PC at a multitude of events and meetings over the county. Thanks also go to Anne Sayers for supporting Louise and the council in her role as vice chair for this time and for taking the reins at meetings in Louise’s absence.
Martin Cole has volunteered as chair and I (Ronan Woods) as vice chair on a 6-month basis.
Updates
– Lighting
The PC has been quoted £1500 to have a single faulty streetlamp disconnected; we are now investigating the possibility of sourcing our own contractor instead.
– Village Consultation
A reminder that the village consultation will be held on the 13th of July in the Village Hall between 1-4pm. Please come along to learn more about, and give your opinions on, the PC’s plans for Speed Calming Measures, Lighting, and Future Housing.
This is a drop in session so you may attend at whatever time suits you. There will however be a talk from Mark Henderson (Lord Northampton’s land agent) at 2pm about a potential housing development at the approved site on Salt Way Lane.
– De-fib Machines
We have been informed by Shipston First Responders that the defibrillator cabinets are in need of replacement. The PC has agreed we should take their advice and have them replaced to ensure the defibrillators themselves are operational should the worst occur..
