1.      Chairman’s Report

 

The purpose of a Parish Meeting is to discuss parish affairs. This gives the parish electors the chance to agree or disagree with the actions or proposed actions of the Parish Council

 

2.      Minutes of Last Meeting

 

The minutes of the last Annual Meeting held on 24th May 2001 were read and approved.

 

3.      Matters Arising

3.1.2        £100 had been donated to the Claxby church bells appeal

3.2  Waste recycling centre update

3.2.1        Referred to LCC Planning Department, deferred twice

3.2.2        To look for an alternative site

3.3  Footpaths. Brian Hunter had spoken to Tony Turner re overgrown footpaths on Normanby Rise, and since then a similar problem had developed along Mulberry Road. BH had spoken to District Councillor Bernard Theobald who had agreed to look into the matter. Hope to cut back to 3’6”

3.4  Sewage works. Anglian Water had renewed one sewage pump but the system has become noisy again. Apparently the second pump now needs renewing. Anglian Water has suggested a site visit when convenient.

 

4.      Any Other Business

4.1  Footpath 94 (church to plantation) difficult to make out, obstructed and electric fences in the way

4.2  Road sides getting damaged, by buses/HGV's?

4.3  Not a great deal of success from the mobile police station

4.4  Calls to Neighbourhood Watch hopefully to be by fax or computer in the future. Fortunately there are few problems in Claxby

4.5  Village Hall is not being cleaned. It is left between events. Voluntary cleaning rota particularly for the kitchen. Village Hall committee?

 

Meeting closed at 7.20 pm
