Allotments update

At their meeting on Monday 12th April the Parish Council discussed allotments and the decision made at the recent Extraordinary Meeting to consult parishioners about the proposed application for a dwelling, stables and allotments at Paddock Lane. As recorded in the (draft) Minutes, produced by the Clerk, the outcome was:

"173.2 Allotments

"Councillors discussed uncertainties connected with current proposals, and it was -

"Resolved (unanimously): that the Parish Council's review of land around the village be re-opened, the purpose being to identify and possibly purchase a site which could become a permanent public asset capable of providing, in conjunction with allotments, a variety of amenities (e.g. parkland/car parking/show ground).

"The planned consultation regarding use of land at Paddock Lane was then discussed and it was -

"Resolved (unanimously): that the planned public consultation be deferred until other options have been explored.

"These decisions were to be publicised widely and interested parties informed. Cllr Mrs Seddon's resignation from the working group was noted with regret and Councillors thanked her for all her efforts over past months. Cllr Hill, Cllr Furber and Cllr Consterdine agreed to become members of the working group, joining Cllr Bradbury-Smith and Mrs Kemble and Mrs Johnson of Dahlia."
