Cars Parking on Pavements Miss Emery commented upon the increase in cars parking on pavements. It was generally agreed that this was the case and it was noted that this was on the agenda of the Parish Council meeting. |

Mr Deller enquired as to when the streetlight replacements would come into operation. Mr Hook responded that the contractors, EDF and McAlpine, were liaising to make them operational as soon as possible. The parish council had paid for the work to be undertaken and Mr Hook undertook to chase the contractors if it had not been completed in the next two weeks. |

Mr Deller explained that following the failure of the PFI, the plans for the school had been secured and it was anticipated the same architects would be used. An update on the start date should be available by July 2005 and it was anticipated that the building work would need to be near completion by Sept 2006. Mr Knight stated that as the space in the existing plans exceeded the DofE minimum requirements, the DofE may require the plans to be amended. Mr Moulton indicated the general support of the parish council but requested consultation by the governors at the earliest stage possible to help ensure matters can be given full consideration and hopefully smooth the progress of the project. |
