Tattingstone Village

At the December meeting of the Council councillors approved the purchase of five new wooden grit bins to be located throughout the village.  The police were not in attendance but the monthly report stated that there were no reported crimes in the village during November.  A planning application for two affordable bungalows to be built in Glebe Close was approved by councillors and a single storey rear extension to Chalklands, The Heath was also approved.  Councillors agreed to Anglian Water’s quote to put mains water on to the allotment site and Cllr. Mendel will liaise with them.  Cllr. Collins reported that the audit was now complete and notices to this effect had been placed on the Notice Boards.

Councillors agreed to keep the precept at the same figure for the coming year. It is hoped that the final phase of  the play equipment will be installed early next year with some items for the older children included. Cllr. Kerswell reported that she had been in touch with Trading Standards to have the whole of Tattingstone  designated as a No Cold Calling Zone. She was told that the village did not have enough related incidents to doorstep crime and could not therefore be registered as such.  The No Cold Calling Zone number is now in the local directory in this newsletter to which any related incidents should be reported.
