One amendment to the minutes – “conservation” changed to “construction” on the planning application for New Farm Barns (DA/2006/0053). The minutes were then signed as a true record of the meeting.

Clerk’s Report Cont’d

 

Bus Shelter

The Everdon WI have requested a bus shelter and are also willing to partially fund it.

The council had two concerns – the cost and whether the bus service was financially viable and therefore likely to continue on a permanent basis. It was agreed that PN would contact Northamptonshire County Council to ascertain the status of bus service

and also whether there were any grants available to help fund the construction of a bus shelter.

SH to write to Everdon WI with an update
