Environment strategy and Randwick Parish meetings

envpaperThis evening two meetings - the first looking at the District's Environment Strategy at Ebley Mill - a presentation by the Strategic Director - sadly only 12 out of 51 councillors present - mind that is good compared to some meetings! Lots of good stuff talked about re Stroud - and better than many Councils but oh dear oh dear how little it all adds up to - but having said that it is a start - and there are opportunities to make some serious changes - I came away with a list of things to follow up - no doubt more of that in future posts...

The meeting finished earlier enough for me to catch the last hour of Randwick Parish Councils meeting - was able to update on recent meetings with Highways and various other bits like the Ruscombe Brook memo of cooperation (see blog 6th June) which was passed unanimously by the Parish.

I was also able to catch up on progress around a number of items - the Randwick Runner will have a report soon - but they may not cover the fact that the post of Snow Warden for the Parish remains vacant at the moment! They are hoping to decide the post next month! There was also news that Highways will not be tackling Sandpits Lane - the plan now is to see if the Care Home staff and residents might be able to help....anyhow I would write more but I've got a glass of wine left over from the weekend to drink....
