Notice – Hilperton Parish Clerk.
Please see this Notice, with reference to a vacancy which has arisen in the Office of Councillor for Hilperton Parish Council.
Over 150 people attended the public meeting on 1st August with many more turning back as the hall was full.
Residents spoke to share their concerns over the applications, and the meeting was drawn to a close after about an hour and a half.
At the parish council meeting which followed, it was agreed that the PC will employ a planning consultant to fight the applications. The cost will be met from PC reserves.
In the best kept village competition Hilperton was judged second in the ‘large west Wiltshire village’ class. It will therefore not go forward this year to the county round of the competition.
The Parish Council is looking for someone to maintain/tidy/sweep and repair, when necessary, our five Bus Shelters in the village. Also, our five Notice Boards will need to be cleaned regularly.
Bus Shelters
So, five bus shelters in total. The tidying up and sweeping should be done on a two-monthly basis.
Notice Boards
As with the bus shelters, the Parish Council would like the Notice Boards cleaned on a two-monthly basis.
If there is anyone interested in taking on this work, could he/she inspect the Bus Shelters and Notice Boards and come back to the Parish Council with a quote. Please contact the Clerk, Marylyn Timms by calling 07921 649183.
The parish council will consider its official response to the various McDonald’s planning applications at an extraordinary meeting at the village hall on the evening of Tuesday 1st August.
This will be preceded, at 6.00pm, by a public meeting when you can ask any questions you have about these applications and indicate to the parish council what your opinions are!
Please note that the parish council is NOT the decision-making body for these applications – it is simply a statutory consultee. The decision will be made by Wiltshire Council and any comments need to be advised direct to WC via the planning portal.
