Minutes of the Previous Meeting
Minutes of the Parish Council meeting held on 30 September had two amendments made, and were then signed off by the chairman.
Matters Arising
Street lighting was discussed – nobody certain if all were working now, but it was mentioned that anything like this could easily be logged via the Wilts Council app. Litter pickers have been bought, labelled and handed over to Rosie Lock. The hedge on the Pound is still a hazard – to be addressed with Wilts Council. STOP/SLOW sign The quality of the grass cutting on the green was raised again. Jim Scott was going to raise this – check with him before pursuing.
Reports
Village Community Store: Nothing to report.
PCC: Churchyard: Collapsed Tomb: Faculty complete.
Cemetery: It was questioned what we get for our rates. Cllr. Whitehead gave a brief explanation in the difference between business and domestic rates. Agreed that we would investigate both this, and cost of a bin at the Commercial Waste Rate
Village Green: Cllr’s Tilley, Daw & Gay removed existing equipment. Charles Butcher removed tunnel. New equipment successfully installed. They are due to come back to lay down some more safety matting. The official opening will be on the 21st November. Claire Perry & Cllr. Whitehead have declined so far. Suggestion made that ACPC Chair do the ‘official opening’.

Acknowledgement of emails: Gentle reminder made to acknowledge emails requiring a response. Suggestion made that an informal summary of the emails received put together on a document to pass around for review at each meeting.
Remembrance Sunday: Note made to diarise a memo about British Legion donation next year, and approach it proactively rather than reactively. It was confirmed that as this was a regular donation it was ok to make the decision outside of a meeting, however any new financial decisions can only be made in an official meeting.
Cllr. McDonald volunteered to be the ACPC representative at the Remembrance Day service, requested clarification of the order of events on the day. Kate to confirm details with Elizabeth Currie. Presentation of minutes at meetings: If members of the public are present, offer to read the minutes out.
