Annual Parish Meeting - 2006 |
||||
April
26th 2006
The meeting followed last year's successful format and around forty members of the public were in attendance. After welcoming everyone to the meeting Peter Burns, chair of Helmdon Parish Council gave a brief annual report and then introduced Danny Moody who gave a financial overview of the Council's activities for the year.
As the village was in the middle of a major overhaul of roads and pavements at the time of the Annual Parish Meeting it made sense that the key speech was from NCC's highways partner, Atkins. Tony McFadden is Atkin's Head of Construction Services and he gave a very illuminating presentation on the work of the Highways Agency in the county. Mr McFadden then fielded questions and comments from residents about the current works in the village. During "Open Forum" all those present had the opportunity to raise any matter they wished. One resident asked whether the Parish Council had adopted any planning guidance, and whether it might be possible to carry out a Village Design Statement. David Brookhouse, chair of the Council's planning committee said that the Council was only a statutory consultee and that SNC made the planning decisions. He agreed to put the matter on the agenda for the next parish council meeting.
The chair closed the meeting at 9:50 p.m. and invited everyone to stay for refreshments and to view a display of village photographs. Next year's meeting will be held on 25th April 2007, so put the date in your diary now!
