MINUTES OF THE MEETING HELD IN THE VILLAGE HALL
ON WEDNESDAY 6th JANUARY 2010
PRIOR TO THE MEETING
PARISHIONERS WERE INVITED TO RAISE MATTERS OF CONCERN WITH CLLRS:
No matters.
POLICE REPORT
PC Kelly Akers was
unable to be present and had provided a written report. There had been a number
of incidents over the past month mostly minor. Cllr Clifford commented on the
most serious incident. A body had been found in the lake at Denfurlong on FCE
land. The Police had proved to be very unhelpful in communicating the situation
to FCE which would have enabled any questions from worried parishioners to be
answered. Cllr Clifford had written to the police to raise his concerns. Parish
Council would report this lack of communication to the new Chief Constable.

Clifford, Greenfield, Howe, M. Lewis, Price, Speed and Wagstaff were present
