PARISH PUMP

We had our full Council meeting on Friday 12th February 2010 at 8pm. In attendance were our two Ward Councillors, Cllr Keith Parker and Cllr Roger McCheyne, as well as three members of the public and the following items were discussed:

Swan Pond Restoration
We have been granted £7542 from the Community Initiative Fund subject to transfer of ownership of the pond from Brentwood Borough Council to the Parish Council. It was recommended that all work on this project be completed before the end of February to minimise the effect on wildlife. Unfortunately this deadline looks unlikely to be met and also the issue of ownership has not yet been settled.

Doctors' Surgery
Unfortunately no progress to report as yet.

Vacancy
We still have a vacancy for a new Parish Councillor. Cllr Chris James has stated that he has an interested person who has been invited to attend our next meeting.

Senior Citizens' Christmas Party
Many apologies to Bella Beauty who contributed towards the raffle at this event - Beauty Box was thanked in error. Many thanks to Bella Beauty for the support given.

Neighbourhood Police Watch
There is a meeting at the Fane Hall on Tuesday 2nd March at 8pm - all members of the village are invited.

Next meeting is on Friday 12th March at the Village Hall committee room - all villlagers are welcome to attend.

Cllr David Loten
