PARISH COUNCIL REPORT FOR YEAR 2022 – 2023
During this year we have continued with the legal requirement to hold meetings in public, although the Covid effect has persisted in that we have had rather more councillor absences due to poor health than usual. We cancelled our September meeting due to the death of Queen Elizabeth.
We regret that we rarely see members of the public at meetings. Their increased attendance was a welcome benefit of online meetings. As a reminder we meet at three venues, in rotation – the Peldon and Wigboroughs Community Hall, the Salcott Village Hall and in the nave of St Stephen’s church in Great Wigborough.
Our email service and Facebook page continue to help us disseminate information. Find us at https://www.facebook.com/winstred100parishcouncil.
You can even leave a message there, but we ask you to be mindful that we don’t monitor it 24/7 and so you may not get an immediate response.
For those of you not on Facebook, all councillor details are on our website https://winstred100.org/parish-council/ In many cases, the best person to speak to is our Clerk.
As statutory consultees, we reviewed all the planning applications in the Parish and used our local knowledge to pass comments to Colchester Borough/City Council.
