Garden Waste – the freeservice is ending on 18th December and residents who wish to continue having collections need to join a new scheme which involves paying £35 per bin, up to a maximum of four bins per household, as a once off start-up fee and thereafter £55 per year for the service to continue.  The service will be free for the first three months after joining and the joining fee (but not the annual service fee) will be waived for those receiving Local Council tax Support at the time of applying to join. Go to CCC website colchester.gov.uk for more details.

Public-Have Your Say: Overgrown vegetation at Salcott crossroads was mentioned and advised that it is hoped CCC will be verge cutting in due course as per normal and or local farmers may assist when not so busy with ploughing etc.

Declarations of Interest: None

  1. Playgrounds and Playing Fields are in good order and small jobs have and will be attended to.
  2. Affordable Housing Survey – having agreed their text we will get this moving forward with RCCE with deadlines to be decided.
  3. St Nicholas Church – the proposals were agreed by all but we will add that access to the graveyard by all family and friends of those buried there should be included. 
  4. CCC Planning Session- report following attendance was given plus slides from CCC.  The PC will look into adopting the independent planning literature supplied by Planning Jungle Ltd (www.planningjungle.com) as a simpler way of keeping abreast of planning changes. 
  5. Actions and Reminder List – updated, Mill Lane bus shelter is in the hands of our insurers for replacement. A footpath in Peldon has been dealt with thanks to an adjacent land owner and will also be attended to by ECC in due course. We continue to be indebted to Eric Coan for maintaining the grass on the Peldon triangle, in what has been a difficult year for farmers weather wise.
