4. CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
Resigning Chairman, Peter Moorhouse, thanked all the councillors for
their hard work during this first year of the new Council. With the
resignation of Barry Stewart we had been fortunate to co-opt Cllr. White
and he hoped that residents would come forward to fill the vacancy now
created. It was disappointing that the Borough Council had not
supported the need for extra toilets in the village which were needed.
However, the year had seen the war memorial cleaned up and this was
looking good. Other work during the year included the tidying up of the
bus shelter in Long Road West , the installation of the VAS in Ardleigh
Road and the erection of a machinery compound on the sports field. He
welcomed the formation of an Allotment Society and hoped that this
venture would go forward. Mr. Moorhouse congratulated our PCSO for her
diligence, C.Cllr. Clover for his efforts to keep our roads in a good
state of repair and Cllr. Garnett for all his help and advice. Finally
he wished to thank the Clerk for all her support during the year.
5. ACCOUNTS The

March, 2009, were presented to the meeting and were unanimously
accepted.
These would now go forward
