Notes 28th August 2007

Biddestone and Slaughterford Parish Council
Cllrs congratulated the Parish Steward for work done in the village prior to the best kept village assessment.

Work is to go ahead to seal the spillway leak in the pond. The grant application for restoration of the War Memorial will be submitted in October. Mr. Gregory of WCC has been asked to address the public meeting in October regarding the new Wiltshire Unitary Authority. The NWDC proposal for the toilets to be taken over by the Parish Council was approved in principle and a further meeting requested. The need for a new larger village notice board was agreed.

No objections were raised to the following planning applications. 4 Commercial Units at the Sawmills- Renewal of permission already granted. Glebe Cottage- Erection of carport. Two new houses in the Tynings by Westlea Housing. Change of use of stables at The Close to Holiday Cottage and garaging. Further concern was raised regarding the size of proposed car parking space at Chimes Cottage and this was passed to NWDC. The application for the Old Rectory has been refused by NWDC.

Deep concern was expressed following the latest fatal accident at the A420 crossroads. A letter will be sent to WCC and Police requesting urgent consideration of Stop sign or even traffic lights.
