Milverton Parish
Council Report
Meeting 4th
March 2019
The meeting opened with
public questions about dog mess. This is a long standing problem
which is very bad at the moment. The Council will put another notice
in the Parish Magazine and offer to pass information to the Dog
Wardens. The Council will also ask that owners keep their dogs off
the grass in the Jubilee Gardens.
Under planning
Councillors considered the proposal to Change the Use of the surgery
to a dwelling house. Citing the recent village survey which showed an
overwhelming majority favoured its retention as a community building,
Councillors objected to the proposal. Their reasons included a loss
of a community facility, inadequate evidence for the change and a
lack of need for housing in such a location.
Under roads Councillors
considered a serious complaint from a Fore St resident who was
extremely concerned about vehicles especially lorries and vans
mounting the pavement and forcing pedestrians to take avoiding
action. Unfortunately SCC is not prepared to prioritise this for
expenditure and so the Parish Council will continue to monitor the
situation.
The Crime report
centred on seeking resolutions to parking problems within the village
especially where carelessly parked cars prevent the bus from passing.
In February the Council
spent £3000 on salaries, road salt, surveyors fees and survey
expenses.
Finally Councillors
discussed the forthcoming elections. Several Councillors are standing
down and members are keen to encourage potential new Councillors to
come forward. Notices will be prepared and anyone interested in the
role can speak to the Clerk.
