Our depleted band of councillors (no one has yet come forward to fill two vacant seats), considered highways (still potholed), the litter hunt, election matters and the forthcoming annual meeting, and two planning applications at their meeting of the 26th March. It also reported on a letter that had been received telling them about the Pre-School moving from the Village Hall into a room in the school shortly.
