A Well Attended APM
Posted
This year's Annual Parish Meeting, held on May 12th, was well attended, with over 30 local residents at the Village Hall.
The Agenda followed the normal pattern with reports from the Chairman of the Parish Council, Terry Hanner, and from a long list of Village Clubs etc.
The Chairman's report covered some of the main issues that had come before the PC during the year. These included the proposals for a shop in Darrow Green Road, objections to the East Pye Solar Farm and damage to the Village Sign.
Reports were then delivered by representatives of: DVC, the Art Group, the Church and Chapel, the WI, the Thursday Coffee Club, the Parish Magazine, the Bowls Club, the Gardening Club and the Village Hall.
The final item on the Agenda was an opportunity for Public Participation and several topics were raised. Liz Cargill explained the new project to record the village’s Wildlife. John Chapman raised his concerns regarding the increasing problems caused by rats. Helen Sida-Page explained the ambitious plans for replacing the Fort in the Children’s Play Area, plans were on view.
At the close of the meeting a glass of wine was enjoyed by all attendees, but the members of the Council then had to attend their normal bi-monthly meeting.
