18/02 Introduction

The meeting opened with Cllr Brady thanking everyone for coming and advising that the meeting was for the Parish; to hear the work that the committee had done over the last 12 months. Residents were encouraged to join in, in Q&A sessions and that a number of reports will be read out to update residents on the work of other organisations.

18/03 Presentation to Eric and Pam Shaw

Cllr Brady welcomed former Ward Cllr, Parish Cllr and Mayor Eric Shaw and his wife Pam to the meeting.

Eric thanked the Committee for their kind gesture and especially to Cllrs Paul Sunners, Paul Walton, Chris Rawlings and David Hill for their help when he first joined the Council and later to Cllr Caroline Brady.

Cllr Brady then advised that one of the agenda items was a discussion and feedback with the public on the 6 main traffic concerns in the Parish.
