At its May meeting the Council:
• congratulated Jim Neal on his re-election as Borough Councillor. We are very lucky that Jim attends most parish council meetings
• decided to meet on the second Monday of each month apart from August.
• raised no objection to plans for poultry houses at Patchington Farm (this was a renewal of an application previously approved by the TVBC), and extensions at 114 and 60 North Acre
• noted the draft accounts for the year to 31 March 03 and adopted recommendations from an informal finance meeting
• discussed litter and behaviour at the skate ramp. This will be looked at in more detail at the next Open Spaces meeting.
• arranged a fire safety talk for 28 May
• Decided to invite a Highways official to the next meeting to discuss road signs and road safety
• Decided to print enough copies of the new Village Design statement for every household to have one.
