No immediate action because with these footways being concrete with no tarmac overlay, it would require a larger scheme to rebuild and renovate these footways to have any lasting effects over simply adding tarmac to them in their current condition. A forward planning brief has been raised for this location for a future larger scheme. |

13. Urgent business
To consider any urgent business.
Please note if it is “urgent” only because it was not notified in time to appear on the agenda, it should be left till the next meeting. If it is genuinely “urgent”, that is it was too late for the agenda and it will be too late for action if left till the next ordinary meeting The Chairman and The Clerk need to decide whether an additional meeting should be called or actioned during this meeting.
14. Decide next meeting of the parish council.
Councillors and Clerk to agree date and time of next meetings.
