MINUTES: The Minutes of the meeting held on the 9 th February were signed as being a correct record. 8.15pm Cllr. Paul left the meeting. Items 6 (b):Proposed Development Saxon Close: Having heard the views of the residents prior to the start of the Parish Council meeting it was agreed that if in the future a planning application is submitted to the Parish Council for consideration we would welcome residents of Oake to that meeting and would take into account their comments already made. MATTERS ARISING: Phone Box: The contract has now been signed by both the Parish Council and BT who will now arrange to remove the payphone equipment from the kiosk, once this has been done they will send a completion notice and a K6 information pack. Police Report: No problems in our area. Hillfarrance Green: Taunton Deane do not consider the potholes warrant filling in and that there is no improvement budget for the provision of low kerbing. They suggested wooden fence post to stop parking but it is not the aim of the Parish Council to stop vehicles from parking on the Green but to maintain the edges so that they do not get eroded any further. Footway Oake Close: The request for this path between 4 & 6 Oake Close has received a very low rating and seems unlikely to attract funding under the current Local Transport Plan. Parking B3227: Highways have no power to remove vehicles from grass verges unless they can prove damage has been caused, this would prove difficult to do as parking has been going on her for years. The Police should be contacted if the vehicles are causing an obstruction.
