Parish Council Chair David Peters presided over another quiet Annual Parish Meeting on Monday 12 May. Minutes of the previous year’s meeting and the annual report and accounts of the Parish Council were accepted by those present without demur. Presenting the annual report, David highlighted a handful of issues that he thought the parish might be facing in the near future – including questions about the boundary of the parish (in the face of new development just south of Natland Mill Beck Lane) and the future use of the Helm (now that grazing is no longer taking place) – as well as the challenge of implementing the new Parish Plan, which is now underway.
A number of village groups presented reports – the school, the village hall management committee, Neighbourhood Watch and the Women’s Institute did so in person and verbally, as did PC Martin Boake on behalf of our local policing team. Other groups provided written reports, packed with interest and achievements (and, in one case, photographs!) which can be read by clicking on the links below.
