MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF OAKE PARISH COUNCIL HELD ON MONDAY 12TH FEBRUARY 2007 AT OAKE & DISTRICT HALL

PRESENT: Cllrs. C. Bishop,   D. Price,   R. Shaw, J. Paul, Mrs. I. King   the parish Clerk and David Grieg.

PUBLIC QUESTION TIME:   

DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST:

APOLOGIES: Cllr. P. Coles

A letter of resignation had been received from Cllr. P. Aldenhoven..

MINUTES: The Minutes of the meeting held on the 9th January were signed as being a correct record.

MATTERS ARISING:

Parish Plans:  A copy of the minutes of the meeting held at North Curry had been received, these will be circulated, further meetings will be held and it is hoped a member of the council will be able to attend.

Footpath Survey: The footpath survey had been completed by Cllr. Paul and we are very grateful to him for doing this, he will now be our main footpath warden.

ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION:

Speed limit Hillfarrance:  This was put to the Parish Council by a member of the public, a survey carried out some two years ago showed that most of the villagers were against a speed limit as they did not want any more signs and they felt it would make no difference anyway. Unless the support of the village is behind such a scheme the Highway authority would not be approached.

S.A.L.C. Meeting: The next meeting will be at Wiveliscombe Community Centre on the 8th March at 7.30 pm.

Structural Reform: The County Council have put in for one status. The support of the District Councils has not been forthcoming. Taunton Deane and Somerset County Council have been discussing other ways of working to avoid duplication of work which often occurs now. This has been suggested as a much more viable way of working by the five districts in Somerset. Sharing of combined functions would be the best option. All paperwork concerning this to be circulated.
