Recommendations from the Parish Hall “working group” to help improve the visual appearance of the interior of the Hall were agreed in principle. A report was received about activity described as “woodland management” that had taken place on land to the north and in the vicinity of Hill Farm, and it was agreed to convey the Council’s concern about the way this matter had been handled to Natural England as the responsible agency.

 The July monthly meeting was preceded by the annual inspection of the Parish Cemetery, which found no serious problems, just the need for tidying of some hedges and the cutting down of bracken. During public question time a parishioner enquired about plans for the future of the churchyard garden: it was arranged to include this as an agenda item at a later meeting.
