The meeting began at the junction ofA162 and Orchard Close with councillors and Darren Griffiths NYCC. The site was viewed for the suitability of a VAS speed detector camera. Lighting pole No 4 was agreed as the best position and also another site for a VAS camera to the south of the village.

Planning
Proposed conversion of existing barn and outbuildings to create 1 x 2 bed/ 1 x 3 bed and 1 x 4 bedroom dweling together with garages. At Turpin Hall Farm for Mr Steven White.
The council considered that there were insufficient parking spaces . Back Lane has no footpath and is a single width carriageway. Access via Back Lane to the site would cause congestion also impede traffic coming into Back Lane from the south..There is already a notice at bothe entrances to the lane staing ‘unsuitable for long vehicles’ The council would like to see the reuse of the stone from the barns in the building. It is also noted that the garages are of insufficient size to house modern cars.
Application to reduce vcrown spread and remove dead wood on Ash tree at Stonecroft, Main Street. There were no objections.
