Reports from Various Meetings BC
reported on meeting he had attended about the opening of Eggborough Police
House as a police station. 6 Playground Update
Members considered an amended licence to use the NYCC Highways land as a play area. BC had sent a copy to Peter Murphy of Groundwork Selby. Mr Murphy had commented that there was no mention of fencing and ground maintenance. He was prepared to discuss it with Stuart Bunney of Wren at their next meeting.

towards the total cost of setting up the play area. 7 Parish Plan BC
read out part of the minutes from a Joint CIP meeting which stated “Gary
Limbert advised that following the Parish Forum Meeting held on Parish
Plans, Parish Plans will have residence in Policy & Performance at
Selby DC and will be available on the Intranet, Internet and in Libraries.
Departments will be made aware of where they are held should they
need to refer to them. Village
Design Statements will be held by the Planning & Policy Team who will
look at how they can be incorporated into Planning Policy. Trevor Philips expressed concerns
about a statement made by Councillor McCartney re what CIP’s should do
with regards to Action Plans, without having first consulted the Joint
CIP. Gary Limbert stated this
was a misunderstanding which has since been discussed with Councillor
McCartney. Roy Wilson –
Parish Plans to remain on the Joint CIP Agenda”.
Members were pleased that progress was being made. 8 Payments None 9 Any Other Business Members
