Milverton Parish Council Meeting report

April 2017

Milverton Parish Council met on 3^rd April in the Victoria Rooms.

Councillors discussed two planning matters. The first was for an extension to a house in Creedwell. This was approved by Councillors in line with the delegated planning agreement the Council has with TDBC. The second was a consultation from TDBC about the felling three willow trees at the bottom of Butts Way which Councillors supported.

It was reported that the planter outside the Fore Street toilets had disintegrated and Mr Chambers kindly offered to replace it. Councillors thanked Peter Hutchinson for drawing this to their attention. The Clerk will ask the Gardening Club to fill and maintain it as it has in the past.

Two footpath issues were reported. The steps leading from the orchard to Milverton Court are slippery and need repair and the steps leading into the Creedwell field are also in need of repair. This is urgent because an elderly resident recently fell and injured himself at the metal gate.

Madam Chairman reported that the next meeting with the NHS Partnership Trust about future options for Milverton Surgery would be on 10^th April. She would report back to the next meeting.

The Clerk reported that the Council would complete the legal transfer of the Fore Street toilets on 4^th April. This would include a dowry payment of £10520 which would be used for repairs and improvements.

The meeting authorised expenditure of £2400 on salaries, expenses and PAYE (£800) grants (£750) toilet cleaning (£650) and Planning Officer attendance (£200).

Clerk to Milverton Parish Council
