The minutes of December 2025 meeting were agreed and signed by the chairman

City Councillor Reports: The current Local Plan ends in February and the new one will not be ready by then so developers will be keen to submit planning applications for quick approvals.

Andrew will take up other matters we are dealing with at the moment and help where he can.

Public-Have Your Say: A new salt box has been requested for Salcott crossroads as the old one is broken. Meanwhile good-hearted residents are distributing salt along The Street. The bus company will be written to requesting that drivers are more careful when picking up the school children during icy conditions as opposed to stopping coming down The Street altogether as they have indicated. A Salcott planning matter will be looked into.
