            MATTERS ARISING

 

  • Notice Boards – The Clerk had been informed that CW&C that permission would be needed to move the Notice board alongside the pavement.  Discussions were held and it was agreed that maybe moving the Notice Board to a different location would be a better idea.  Councillor Brierley-Jones agreed to speak to the owner of Dutton Service Station to discuss the possibility of putting the Notice Board at their premises.

 

  • Parish Council Website – Information regarding Councillors Declarations was still required.  The Clerk would ensure this was completed.  A copy of the Parish Map was also suggested.  Councillor Helm would deal with this.

 

  • Dutton Oak – Councillor Cosgrove apologised for not being able to do anything on this matter but would look into it.

 

  • Parish Councillor Vacancy – Mrs June Morris was at the meeting as a prospective candidate. A Vacancy Notice would be put on the Notice Board as per proper procedure.

 

  • Whitley School Bus Service – The Clerk had been in contact with CW&C regarding this matter, but policy had now changed and a bus was only provided to the child’s nearest school.  Councillor Brierley-Jones said he would take up this matter on behalf of the family concerned to see if anything could be done on appeal.  The Clerk would send details to him.

 

  • Whitley Village Hall Roof – Funding had been received from WREN but the outcome from Biffa was still awaited.
