The last parish council meeting was held on 11 May in the Church in conjunction with the Council AGM, all members were present. There were no matters arising from the previous meetings.
Village Defibrillator: The village defibrillator has now been purchased and should be installed shortly, we are planning to site it in the old phone box on the crossroads but timing will depend on BT decommissioning it as a phone box. When it has been installed we are hoping to run a First Aid course just to run through its use and other basic First Aid.
Planning: There were no major planning decisions to discuss.
The Fox and Hounds: There was discussion at the AGM about registering the Pub for inclusion on the Community Asset Register held at Stratford District Council and it was agreed by a majority vote of all those present that this should be done. The Chair has completed and submitted the relevant forms to SDC and we are waiting to hear whether this application has been successful. If this application is successful it will mean that if the pub is put up for sale the village will have six weeks to register an interest in purchasing it, if that goes ahead then six months to put a bid together. It does not mean that any village bid would automatically have to be accepted.
Little Wolford Parish Meeting: Great Wolford Parish Council has been approached by the Chairman of Little Wolford Parish Meeting with a view to possibly amalgamating the two villages under one Parish Council. Initial discussions will take place at the next Parish Council Meeting.
If you would like to comment on these or any other matters come along to the next Parish Council Meeting, all our council meetings are open to the public.
