The Minutes of the meeting held on 12th July 2022 were agreed by all and signed by the chairman.

Borough Councillor Report: Colchester Borough Council is £3m in debt. A Rural Prosperity Fund is being rolled outfor communities and job prospects. The lower bands of properties will receive £150 off their council tax.

Public-Have Your Say: None

Declarations of Interest: None

  1. Playgrounds and Playing Fields – both Salcott and Peldon are in good order having received repair work to the swings at Salcott, new signage at Moss Hay, and newly installed adult gym equipment at both sites after receiving a National Lottery grant for the apparatus and Locality Budget from the Borough Councillors for the matting. The problem with the pole at the entrance gate to Moss Hay for vehicle access will be addressed in due course. As always, we would please request for everyone to use the equipment and fields in a responsible manner for all to enjoy and in particular dog owners to be considerate bearing in mind that children play on these fields and play equipment.
  2. Wigboroughs Bus Shelters – it was agreed to accept the quote of £375 for painting both bus shelters and so the shelters and the Little Wigborough village sign will be given some TLC in the near future.
  3. 20’s Plenty Webinar (for 20mph speed limit near schools and similar)- attended by several parish councillors who felt there was no benefit to our villages in becoming involved with the organisation.
  4. CBC Planning Training Session – was also attended and thought to be disheartening as to how planning rules and laws are implemented now.
  5. Email Protocol – updated and will be circulated amongst the parish councillors
  6. Process for agreeing responses to planning applications – as above
  7. Cllr Lee Scott, Cabinet Member for Highways Maintenance – visited us and we drove round the villages showing him all the highways’ problems we have at present.  Some things can and will be addressed but other will not owing to lack of funding. It was very good to meet him and we thanked him for making the journey.
  8. Youth Forum – Postponed until next month.
