Apologies for absence  Mr S Paine,   Cllr P Tomlinson.

Approve and sign Minutes  prop. K Welch.   sec. M Robson.

Matters arising
Mrs H Hutton had regretfully tendered her resignation. She thought that there was a possibility of improvements in the Park Homes management, she had served for many years and thought it was time to pass on the duty. She would still be involved with IPAS and no doubt many other community activities. The council resolved to thank Hazel for all her hard work and long years of service.
L. Lindsay Gale was congratulated on her success in becoming our new county councillor.
N Northcott had spoken to someone in Iris Hayter House and explained the new rubbish collection system to them.

County Councillor's report   Not much had happened yet in the new Council. Committees were being formed - she was on Planning and Growth and Infrastructure committees which was good news. She would remind traffic people of the promised traffic calming measures to follow the introduction of the new mini roundabout.
P Tomlinson (District Cllr) had recommended contacting John Backley for litter problems.

Matters for consideration

	Casual vacancy:   Susanne Wilson was welcomed and co-opted to serve on the council until the next elections. There was now another casual vacancy due to Mrs Hutton's resignation, clerk would post the advertisement.
	20mph speed limit for Church Road. There was a widespread agreement that this would be a great improvement if possible to achieve. The County was looking favourably on the introduction of lower speed limits in villages and was monitoring the experiments in the City. Clerk would write to Ian Hudspeth with copy to Peter Ronald to request a new speed limit in Church Road.
	NAG and noise. K Welch would pick up concerns re. traffic and noise issues with the NAG - he was now a member of the group. PC Paul Gardiner had said he would attend some parish council. meetings. Kevin would invite him to our September meeting.

Matters raised  
K Welch would ask S Paine what was happening about the Pheasant Walk demolished wall and overgrown grass. Clerk would investigate land ownership and responsibility. There was uncertainty due to the fact of the original developers (Westbury Homes) going bankrupt and handing over to Persimmon who in turn had gone bankrupt and there had never been a proper hand over via SODC.
The parish council wished to record thanks to the organisers of the recent 'Professor Bumm' entertainment in the village hall. It had taken a lot of work but been a great success attracting an appreciative audience who then continued the fun in the recreation ground afterwards.
It was hoped to be able to offer other cultural events in the future.
