Matters arising
The new railings for the village hall were in hand with Mr Hedges.
District Councillor's report
John Stimson reported from the SODC Overview committee
[see meeting]
held on
Nov 16 regarding the Park Homes Site. Only one question had been allowed each person and
unfortunately the question he had drafted went astray. Councillor Tomlin had been unable to
complete a tour of the site because of harassment from the site owner - she said she had felt unable
to continue.
The Council Cabinet
[see meeting held on 2 Dec 2004]
had compiled a list of recommendations which Cllr Stimson
would email to the clerk. He suggested that the parish council endorse the recommendations and
invite Cllr Mrs Dawe to a meeting at Sandford in about 3 months. SODC has appointed an
enforcement officer for the sites in the District.
County Councillor's report
J Howell regretted that Richard Dix had been unable to attend tonight
but he had promised to attend the January meeting.
A public meeting had been held in Oxford Town
Hall regarding the Fire Service and a representative from the office of the Deputy Prime Minister
had attended. They had said that the business plan would be reviewed and abandoned if unfeasible.
SEERA had met with local councillors to prepare ground for issue of SE plan next year. Some
concessions had been wrung from them but would no doubt be overturned later from central
government.
Matters for consideration
