13 The Big Stink
The Chair stated that he had received confirmation that the Environment Agency were not going to take any action against any of the three companies involved in “The Big Stink” from Womersley Tip in 2004. Due to the importance of this item, the Chair asked members of the public for their thoughts on the matter. A resident said that he thought all residents should be asked what action, if any, they wanted the parish council to take.
It was decided to seek all residents’ views, to ask the residents living at Spring Lodge Crossing if they had received any compensation and to seek legal advice.
14 Selby District Council Consultation on the core strategy issues and options
It was decided to return the completed questionnaire. Option 2 was the preferred option for future make-up of Selby District Council.

J.A. stated she had received a form asking for a nomination for a parish representative on the executive committee of the York and North Yorkshire Playing Fields Association and that she was prepared to stand. The Chair asked if anyone else wanted to be nominated. No one else wished to be nominated and so Jenny Adams’s name was put forward.
M.W. suggested village events should be advertised in the Womersley and Whitley newsletters.
M.S. asked about Hanover Green being in Womersley parish. The Chair said that he was expecting a reply from Womersley Parish Council very soon. It was decided to ask the clerk to contact Womersley PC about the poor lighting in Hanover Green.
Funding is available from UK Villages for items such as notice boards. It was decided that B.C. should apply for this.
