- Apologies for Absence:
- Address by Chairman of the Parish Council: GW welcomed everyone to the meeting. We have now got over the pandemic and a good WhatsApp group had been formed. It is still hoped to bring mains drains to Hanworth and some exploratory work will be done by Anglia Water.
- The Memorial Hall is coming on well but the cost of some materials has tripled and funding is now about £30,000 short. More fund raising will have to be done.
- Jubilee Celebrations: There will be a barbeque on Friday 3rd June at 6.00 at the Memorial Hall. Tickets are being sold for £2. There will be a licenced bar.
- Public Questions: SM asked what the Council thought about the current block on planning applications. These were brought about by government ruling following input from Natural England, to prevent run off into water courses. NNDC was working on understanding them and Cllr SP thought these restrictions would be lifted next month. Anglia Water will be asked what investment they will put in to bring about improvements.
- Nicola Cuttill is raising money for the defibrillator, £660 to date. A working party was needed to repair the phone box before it can house a defibrillator. It was believed at least four residents would be willing.
- A new notice board would be made for Gunton Church.
