Meg PC: September 2007 Archives

The Parish Council have a number of ongoing issues at the present time and it would be premature to discuss these in detail until further developments have taken place.
One issue we are pleased to report is the overwhelming success of our survey on the Cross. There were around 600 replies and we are very grateful to everyone who took the trouble to respond. In addition to answers to the questions there were many comments and we are still very busy reviewing everyone's response. One thing is very clear there was very little support for removing the Cross, SO THE CROSS REMAINS, which will mean little if any changes to the road layout. There was considerable support for changing the pillar of the Cross and present proposals are to go back to the Pre-war design.
A full analysis of the results will be available in time for the next edition of the magazine.
We are still discussing land issues with the County Council and await their response to proposals made by the Parish Council. This would require changes to the current 'chance to share field' and the 'Star and Garter field' but these will only go ahead if we can protect the interests of the Village.
We have now co-opted a new Councillor and with the Council back up to full strength look forward to moving forward with our long list of outstanding action items.

Dr Mike Allen
