Planning Applications

No. 0314 Install 0.3m Dish Aerial, Telephone Exchange, Station Road. It was proposed by J Wardell and seconded by J Cox that there be no objections. All agreed.

Other matters

J Cowley asked that Refurbishment of JFPA be put on next Agenda. He feels that the notices regarding no golf etc., should be at each entrance to the area and also a firm plan for the work to be agreed.
The Clerk advised that as there are meetings regarding the Library and also the Pedestrian Crossing arranged for soon after the next meeting, both these items would be on the agenda so that all Councillors can be advised of the meetings.
J Wardell advised that the Ramblers Assoc. had officially objected to the proposed diversion of the footpath across Pond Close, by Signpost Housing, as they did not wish to see the path diverted on to the highway. The Clerk advised that as the TC had also mentioned this in their response to the Planning Application, she had also written on behalf of the Town Council objecting to the planned diversion and supporting the Ramblers alternative route.

There being no further business the meeting closed at 8-30 p.m.
