2 Matters arising
There were no matters arising.
3 Public question time
Mr Briggs brought to the councils attention that he did not receive the parish news. JA asked Mr Briggs if he would deliver his areas newsletters and he agreed to this.
Mr Briggs told the council that he recently had cavity wall insulation work carried out and if anyone in the village were interested in having this work done he had the telephone number for the contract firm and that any properties that he recommends the contract firm would give him £10.00 and if anyone had this work done any monies that he received he would buy more daffodils to improve on the work Mr Briggs and his wife had already done. BC said that he would put this in the newsletter.

There were no matters concerning the correspondence.
5 Reports from various meetings
BC attended a meeting at Selby Town Hall regarding transport plan. There are 15 schemes proposed one of which was to put cycle tracks on the A19 and another for a calming scheme to be installed.
6 Planning Application 42 Wrights Lane
The planning application for construction of an en suite bathroom had no observations from the council.
7 Planning application Manor Grange Stud Farm
A representative from the stud farm said that as the barn used to be an agricultural building they were told that they did not need planning permission. JA stated that an environmental study should have been carried out regarding the bats that lived in the barn. As this study was not done and the barn had already been demolished the bats were no longer there. The stud farm representative said that she was not aware of any bats in the barn.
BC showed that according to the plans submitted the new barn that has already been constructed is much larger than the old barn. Mr Howarth from the stud farm said to Miss Howarth from the stud farm that the plans showed that the new barn was larger than the old barn.
Miss Howarth then stated that if they at the Stud Farm had any more trouble from the parish council and the villagers they would sell the land to gypsies and let them move in. The parish council and the villagers present at the meeting saw this as a threat and the chairperson had to close the meeting for ten minutes at 7.30pm.
The chairperson re opened the meeting at 7.40pm.
The Parish Council observations were that no environmental study had been carried out, the plans and the building of the new barn were larger than the old barn and that there was a query as to whether the barn is an agricultural building.
