Parish meeting in Lady Chapel

The Whiteshill Village Hall was double-booked so it was very nice to be in the Lady Chapel of the church: loads of apologies meant the meeting went quicker than usual, although I missed the last bit...basically a chance to update on various items like the campsite, 20 mph, Folley Park farm footpath etc. I'm hoping to set up further meetings with Highways but sadly the crucial person has been off sick - until we get her we can't move this forward with police etc.

Other issues raised at the Parish included a darft piece of work looking at improving the dropped kerbs in the village, the plans for a newsletter plus a presentation by the Village Agent, Pam Thorne - discussed possibility of holding joint surgeries with her for parishioners. One issue of concern was the 12 break-ins in Upper Kitesnest Road - they disturbed the 3 involved and police managed to catch a suspect - however 2 escaped across fields - fog meant the helicopter didn't get to fly otherwise they would very likely have caught them like a similar recent incident in Stroud. Anyway you can catch all that in the minutes I'm for a glass of wine...
