WINSTRED HUNDRED PARISH COUNCIL
Peldon Great Wigborough Little Wigborough Salcott Virley
A meeting of Winstred Hundred Parish Council will be held at Salcott Village Hall at 7.30pm. on Tuesday 14th December 2010.
Note from the Chairman:
You will note that the agenda looks a little different this time. Nicky, Sue and I decided to try this expanded format believing that it will help people realise what is expected of them at the meeting and give them a chance to ask questions and round up documents and details before the meeting so that they can come well prepared. We hope that this will support briefer better-informed discussion. The format also indicates what decisions need to be made since we are once again hearing rumblings that we too often defer decisions until the following meeting.
Your feedback about the new format is actively solicited as are any further ideas you may have to improve the way our business is conducted.
Apologies for absence:
