62.22 – Minutes
The minutes of the last meeting (8.11.22) were agreed and signed.
63.22 - Matters Arising
Footway Salting - Chair updated about discussion with residents regarding salting on Salters Close. They will be happy with a spreader which they will fill from the salt bin at the shop. Clerk reported spreaders range from £75 - £175 depending on capacity, it was proposed by Cllr Rickett that we spend up to £200 on one, seconded Cllr Henderson. Clerk to order.
Christmas Tree – this project ran into all sorts of legal problems for the PC regarding the voltage of the lights and the siting and exposure of the supply. Clerk and Chair tried very hard to make it happen but it was not to be. Hopefully we can arrange it for another year.
Land License - The land we were proposing to site it on and would like to develop into an amenity seating area is under license to the PC. Clerk will find terms of original license and we will then either be able to proceed or seek permission to proceed.
