Apologies for absence  Ms M Robson
,   Mrs H Hutton,   Cllr J Howell,   Cllr P Tomlinson.

Approve and sign Minutes  prop M Hills,   sec. I Reveco.

Matters arising 
Lock bridge handrail had been repaired and it had apparently been found that it was the responsibility of the brewery due to a deed dated 1937. Parish council had not been notified formally of this.
There had been further complaints regarding noise from Salter's steamers holding noisy parties at night by the lock. Clerk would write to Environment Agency to complain.

County Councillor's report
(By email) - the Riverside pool at Wallingford has opened again for the summer.
The Council is organising school holiday activities for young people in the District for the period 23 July to 31 August, activities include athletics, hockey, golf, cricket, tennis and swim school. There is a leaflet available from the office at Crowmarsh or by calling 01491 823417.
The Council web site has information regarding the new smoke free regulations for enclosed areas, which come into operation on 1 July.
The District Council is to receive a planning delivery grant of £44,600 from the government thanks to its efficient planning performance and service. The Council will invest this money to improve service without further call on taxpayers.
Following a meeting with John Howell, I have sent in comments on the Minerals Site Document.
I look forward to meeting you at your September meeting (assume you do not hold meetings in August) and working with you for the next 4 years.

Matters for consideration

	Elect Vice Chairperson. M Robson had indicated that she would be prepared to stand and it was decided to wait until the next meeting to decide this formally. It was noted that there is still a vacancy for a councillor and that no one as yet had shown any interest following recent publication of the Link. Apparently the Link had not as yet reached all parts of the village.
	Vandalism - there had been only one incident noted since last month which was the smashing of a car rear window one night when the car was parked on a forecourt. P C Ken Cooney was able to come to the September meeting and was willing to answer any questions from parishioners.
	Traffic - progress report. There has been no visible progress apparent since the last meeting.
	Report from village hall meeting. The hall committee was now without a dedicated bookings clerk so Steve Daniels was nobly holding the fort. The decorations were complete and the floor due to be re sanded and polished first week in August. The finances were in a healthy state and the books being audited for presentation to Charities Commission as income/expenditure now exceeded the £10,000 ceiling.
