AGENDA

Draft Minutes of the Annual Cutcombe Parish Meeting of Electors held on Wednesday 2nd April 2008 at 7.30 pm at Moorland Hall

1. There were 20 parishioners present and County Councillor John Edwards.

2. Apologies were received from Mully Woolmer.

3. The minutes of the meeting held on 29th March 2007 were approved and signed by the Chairman as a true record. There were no matters arising.

4. Cllr Roger Webber presented his report for 2007/08 as Chairman of Cutcombe Parish Council. He thanked Cllr Eric Clarbull for his many years as Vice-Chairman, which post was taken over by Cllr Linda Atkins in May 2007. Among topics reported were: the Luckwell Bridge Triangle Improvement Scheme, the Snowdrop Valley Park and Ride Scheme, the Parish Lengthsman project, the Parish Plan, the revised scheme planned for the Auction Field, the appointment of a Parish Paths Liaison Officer and the proposed closure of the Post Office. He thanked all his fellow Councillors, County Councillor John Edwards and the Clerk for all their hard work and support during the past year, Colin Stevenson for his help on various projects and Cynthia Stevens for the village website. Questions and discussion from the floor followed. Topics included: the Snowdrop Valley Park and Ride Scheme, the failed proposal for a Unitary Authority, the Summerfield Homes proposals for the auction site, speed limits at Luckwell Bridge and the possible resiting of the Church noticeboard.

5. Cllr Webber reported on the work of the Joyce Charity over the past year during which £800 had been distributed to twelve people or families in the Parish.

6. Cllr Webber reported on the work of the West Charity over the past year during which £387 had been distributed to ten people.

7. Electors were asked for their views re the Parish Council supporting the Dunkery Pre-School: all present were in favour.

8. Electors were asked for their views on the removal of the waste recycling bins at the car park: responses were mixed, some favouring removal as there are now kerbside collections, others preferring to see the bins retained but larger or better managed to avoid the build up of litter and abuse by trade users. The Clerk will ask a representative from Somerset Waste to attend a Parish Council meeting. The Exmoor Trust has taken up the matter of fly tipping and litter with the Exmoor National Park Authority.

9. Any other business: the Clerk was asked to investigate a possible oil sharing scheme for Cutcombe and Wheddon Cross.

10. The meeting closed at 8.40 pm.
