Nothing to

The
Enforcement Officer is looking into the use of an electric fence on the Farley
Close path. He would also
like to know who owns the field opposite the Methodist church as the stile has
collapsed.
Councillors agreed that the Clerk and Mrs Hawkes
should liaise, regarding inviting the North Schools Outreach service to visit
the village.
Mrs
Hawkes reported that she had spoken to Mr Veasey from
Broadway Malyan and told him that the Parish Council
would be in touch if necessary. She also reported that she had had discussions
with Mrs Meakins from ABC who said that at present no
affordable housing was designated for Shadoxhurst. She said that the Farley
Close development was definitely supposed to provide housing for local people.
She said she would contact Hyde Housing to find out more about the scheme. It
was suggested that the Parish Council should keep a waiting list and update it
from time to time, in order that it can referred to as and when a house becomes
vacant. It was agreed to include a
piece in the next newsletter asking local residents to put their names forward
if they would like to be put on the waiting list. If it appears that a lot of
people would like the opportunity to buy or rent a property in Farley Close then
we will ask Mrs Meakins to conduct an official survey
on behalf of ABC.
These were added to the Round Robin for comment by Councillors and the item is to be added to next month’s agenda.
