The advisory committee would meet on the Monday prior to the Parish Council meeting, normally held on the first Monday in the month. It would discuss and then feedback to the Parish Council. A maximum of six villagers could join the committee but only three had registered an interest to date: Julie Bryan, Jill Deacon and John Roulstone. There would be 15 minutes Public Time prior to the meeting. The main issues to be addressed are:
· Conflict and confusion between CS&SC Sports Field and Berry Close
· Access for the disabled
· Availability of field for Bonfire and Fireworks event.
· Present use of the field by tenant and others.
Two villagers and one ex-villager had already put their thoughts to the committee.
The following application had been received after the agenda had been published but as a response was required before the next meeting, the Chairman proposed that it was dealt with as a matter of urgency.
