WINSTRED HUNDRED PARISH COUNCIL

Draft minutes of the meeting of Winstred Hundred Parish Council held at Abbotts Hall Farm, Great Wigborough 7.30pm on Tuesday 12th September 2017

Zone Warden Report: Successful fly tipping prosecutions have been taking place resulting in fines.  The new recycling and refuse collection is settling down after quite a few teething problems but now far too many people are taking blacks bags to the tips full of all sorts of waste including food matter which, of course, should be put out in the appropriate bins which are collected weekly.

Borough Councillor Reports: The CBC Draft Local Plan has gone before the inspectors. Resurfacing of Church Lane, Great Wigborough and the missing Salcott sign will be chased up again.
