  • Councillor Vacancy – The Clerk had advertised the Vacancy but as yet no applications had come forward.

 

  • GDPR – The Clerk had obtained a sample GDPR Policy.  Councillor Helm kindly agreed to look at this document and produce similar and appropriate for the Councils needs.

 

  • Tunnel Top Public House – The Owners Architect was at the meeting and gave an update.  There had been a meeting with Halton Borough Council which had not been positive.  It was understood that the proposals would not be accepted due to green belt issues and the loss of a community facility.  The Architect said he would keep in touch with the Clerk going forward but asked if the Council would work on some ideas on how the village could benefit from this development.

  1. AOB

 

Councillor Bloor mentioned to the council that a wooden building structure had been offered and wondered if it would be of any use in the village.  At the present time it was not but if development of the Council owned piece of land was undertaken it would be a different matter.
