The last Parish Council meeting was held on 15 July. All members of the council were present, also present was District Councillor Stephen Gray and eight members of the public.
Little Wolford: the council had been asked by the Chairman of Little Wolford Parish Meeting to consider options if Little Wolford Parish meeting was to disband, principally would we consider Little Wolford being incorporated into the Great Wolford Parish Council. We heard a paper from the Chairman of Little Wolford Parish Meeting and then had an open discussion. It was felt that it was important to canvas the opinion of all the Little Wolford villagers before going any further. Subsequent to the Parish Council meeting we have decided to have further discussion on this matter at the next Parish Council meeting.
Defibrillator: this has been purchased and we are waiting for the telephone kiosk to be officially de commissioned before this is fitted. This should happen in September/October time.
The Fox and Hounds pub: After our application to have the pub registered as an Asset of Community Value, Stratford District Council has raised various queries which will be discussed at the next Parish Council Meeting.
Planning Matters: We are still awaiting the revised planning application for the ongoing work at Wolford Lodge. Planning applications at 2 The Leys and Christmas Cottage has been passed.
General: various correspondence was reported by the Clerk and payments authorised. The annual audit has been approved by the Internal Auditor. Road potholes are an ongoing issue and the Clerk will alert the Highways Dept to the need for repairs.
Councillor Gray reported the SDC’s core strategy had recently received final government approval .
The Village Hall: as you may have seen in The Link repairs are necessary at the back of the building, to enable the builders to have clear access the Village Hall Committee would like volunteers for a work party to clear away vegetation on Sunday 11 September from 2.00–6.00pm. Secateurs required but tea and cakes provided!
The next Parish Council Meeting will be held on Wednesday 14 September in the Church at 8.00pm
