3. Chairman’s Report:
Good evening, everyone. My first year as Chairman has had its moments; apart from all the routine issues that we try to deal with every meeting regarding roads mainly, of which we are grateful having had the experience of Mike Brookes who has relentlessly championed our case for us, we had a more personal issue for several residents being the planning application along Punchbowl Lane, even though we had a good case for concern and was represented well by our local councillors Stuart Evans and Suzanne Wellberry we seemed to have little influence and our concerns were never really listened to.
The last quarter of the year has seen a changing of the guard and we greatly of those retiring or moving on to pastures new, Mike Brookes, Richard Leggott and our secretary Sarah Kulwicki but on the other hand we welcome some new recruits, Edward Cawdron and our new secretary Lynn Ottaviano who seems to have picked up seamlessly from Sarah, and look forward to working with her in the future. Looking further ahead I see we may have further changes due to the recent changes in the District Council, so we will have to wait and see. Thank you to you all for your support. Paul.
