Agenda
21/22-53 Chairman Welcome. Cllr. John Bavister opened the meeting.
He requested Cllr. Penny Robins forwards the weekly planning list previously sent by Cllr Adams. He confirmed that available ‘free trees’ request has been sent. The Parish Council now has official notification that planning application s21/1387 for the erection of high fencing at the new bungalows has been refused. It was also noted that the developer still has the right to appeal against this decision.
21/22-54 Open Forum
a) A Member of the public asked for dog poo bin within the church grounds as an item for the next agenda.
Response: 3 Bins have already been requested from SKDC. To replace the open bin outside of the village hall, replace the missing bin at the Bourne bus shelter and remove open bin at the post box and reposition somewhere on the west area of the village.
The rationale to obtain a more balance distribution for dog walkers of those who do pick up their dog’s waste. The red bin private contract solution is considered noneviable for new contracts taken out. Action: Cllr. Penny Robins to follow up as to a response to our request.

21/22-59 To receive reports from District and County Councillors and the Police.
a) Cllr Penny Robins Report:
Both County Council and SKDC have re-acted well in re-settling Afghan refugees. LCC are supporting at least 14 families, 2 of which are in SKDC. They are people whose lives are in danger as a result of them being British Forces and others.
400 Staff are returning to work at the council over the next few months.
Councillor Adams is still undergoing treatment, so any LCC questions please pass onto myself and I will contact a neighbouring County Councillor.
I have chased the bin issue, it is taking longer than anticipated, they have assured me I would hear back from them by the end of the week. I will chase this again and keep you posted.
11 High Street – Planning has been refused and the decision went out on the 28/9/21. Enforcement Officers are writing the report and sending out an enforcement notice requiring the applicant to reduce the height of the fence to the agreed 0.9m. I have emailed today stating I want this carried out ASAP before the applicant appeals this refusal decision.
I have contacted LCC with regards to road signage of the A6121 on both sides as the trees/bushes need cutting back from the signs. It is hard to see the signs at present which, in my opinion, is dangerous.
S21/1701 – Validated on the 27th August and is pending consideration.
