July 2006

The July monthly meeting was preceded by the annual Cemetery Inspection during which several minor works of maintenance were identified.

Steve Lewis of the Isle of Wight Rural Community Council (RCC) addressed the meeting on “Parish Plans”. It was resolved that an invitation should be extended to all parishioners to contribute to the formation of a “Steering Group” and a meeting to form this Steering Group will be held at 7.00pm in the Parish Hall on Monday 21st August 2006.

The meeting learned that there had not been a demand for an election to fill the ‘casual vacancy’ and therefore the Council was at liberty to co-opt another member.

At the request of parishioners, and following representations from local residents, ‘Activity and Development at Sandown Airport’ was included on the meetings agenda. After some discussion, it was resolved that the IWC should be asked to reinstate and co-ordinate a Sandown Airport Consultative Committee.

The meeting considered eight Planning Applications, including two relating to fences. The Clerk was instructed to query the relevance of planning permission in relation to these two if the properties were subject to restrictive covenants in their title deeds.

The next Monthly Meeting is scheduled for Monday 21st August 2006.
