 Motions Proposed by Councillors

Councillor Oliver proposed that

‘The PC consider making the Parish a designated “no Cold Callers” area.”

Resolved:  The motion is rejected as it would preclude genuine charitable organisations and traditional local community activities.

Councillor Oliver proposed that

‘That the PC consider purchasing appropriate signage to remind dog owners to pick up after their dogs at the field end of the snicket on Churchfields.  This may require a freestanding sign if the adjacent householder(s) are not willing to have it attached to their fence.’

Resolved: The motion is approved.  Suitable signage will be purchased subject to the obtaining of permission of the 2 landowners to site signs on their property.
