Borough Councillors Reports: We were welcomed to the new hall and thanks were given to the parish council for the small contribution given towards the new tables. Investigative work is taking place to try and replace the missing Salcott-cum-Virley sign with surplus funds and all the parish councillors were in agreement with this. CBC Draft Local Plan will go before the inspector about now. The importance of the public consultation on the Mobile Libraries Service was expressed and all are encouraged to take part in the survey at libraries.essex.gov.uk

Great Wigborough post box was discussed as owing to the old village hall being out of use the box has been sealed up and a new site is needed. We will ask to preserve the old post box if at all possible.

Public-Have Your Say: None

Declarations of Interest: None

1. Playgrounds and Playing Fields are in good order apart from Moss Hay is once again suffering from dog fouling which is an extremely unpleasant and unsociable practice and can cause blindness in young children; a fine can and will be issued if the culprits are identified. Spray paint may be used in order to show up the areas.
   The Community Workers, organized by John, have again been carrying out brilliant work for us. A leaning tree on Moss Hay will be dealt with in due course. Sam Jones was thanked for voluntarily trimming up Salcott meadow hedge.
2. Website – suitable updating is still being considered.
3. Defibrillator Session – at the new Peldon and Wigboroughs Community Hall went very well with really good attendance; a donation to the First Responders who voluntarily carried out this session and the one at Salcott was discussed, Nicky proposed, John seconded and all agree to a contribution of £100.
4. Pond in Church Road, Peldon – nothing to report
