Matters arising - There were none

Chairman's report 2003 - 2004 (Appended in full and summarised here)

Kassam Stadium and traffic The problems had improved a little due to yellow lines and poor performance of the football team. Still no relief from speeding traffic
Village hall is in good shape and disturbances now minimised.
Ditch Is now working well.
Police liaison Still no police locally in spite of reassurances last year. No officer has attended a meeting of parish council and people were uncertain where our local officer was to be located.
Recreation/play areas new styles are in position, and gates locked to keep out motor bikes.
Broadhurst Gardens work now complete
Appraisal this has been led by Steve Daniels and Mick Hill with a team of volunteers
Green belt still a need for vigilance even though Draft Structure Plan has now omitted 1,000 homes proposal at Grenoble Rd
Motor cycles using various sites have caused much annoyance and pressure to fence land has been put on landowners.
Roads most surfaces in reasonably good repair
Park Homes there had been much frustration this year
Appreciation was extended to council and thanks to attending villagers. Pat Tuson had resigned due to moving away and she was thanked for her work

District Councillor's report As at preceding Annual Parish Council meeting.

County Councillor's report As at preceding Annual Parish Council meeting.

Statement of accounts 2002 - 2003 (appended)
Before presenting the accounts, the clerk expressed the thanks of the parish council to Mr N. Mackisack who so generously acted as the parish hon. internal auditor. The accounts were presented by the Clerk and adopted by the meeting.

Appraisal Group report
This was presented by M Hills who said that in spite of much hard work from the appraisal team, due to a much higher response from the parish than anticipated and to some falling away in support

from volunteer helpers, the full report was not yet ready. The draft version would be circulated round the village before the fete in July at which it was hoped to have a stall for general consultation and feed back.
N Northcott thanked M Hills for his report and also the appraisal team for their sterling work, the parish council looked forward to being consulted on the draft and would consider further involvement when asked.

Matters raised by parishioners
These had been raised at the preceding Annual Parish Council meeting.

Meeting closed at 9.00pm
