Parish Council
After the summer break there was much to
discuss at the Parish Council meeting on
September 3.
The Planning Inspectorate will be advised that the
Council continues to object to the proposed
development of thirteen retirement dwellings
with warden flat at Fayrefield, especially as there
are no suitable facilities for the elderly within easy
reach.
The proposal for footpath No. 3 to be
straightened was accepted by the Council. It
originally led from Duck Lake, past the mound and
across the fields to the osier beds where willow
sticks were soaked in rectangular ponds before
being made into baskets. The Footpath Officer of
BCC will be informed that there is currently an
obstruction of an electric fence across this path
relating to horses in a field near the osier beds.
However, a volunteer has cut back vegetation
allowing improved access to the footpath.
The Neighbourhood Plan was discussed, and the
sub-committee will obtain more information from
local councils that have successfully achieved a
plan.
