 Plot 84, The Grange, Port Road – Alteration of the approved dwelling including a rear conservatory extension.

The finance committee recommendations for the forthcoming year were accepted by the council. The present local level of precept payments will be retained at their present level. There will be a slight increase in a few of the council charges.

The application for a grant from the Rural Community Development Fund for the construction of a replacement building has been submitted. At this stage of the process we are required to demonstrate the need and its benefits to the community. If the application is approved we will then have to draw up design and costings before obtaining final confirmations of the grant. A successful grant would hopefully see construct of a new building next year.

There are cases of graffiti appearing around the village again. The Vale were requested for assistance to remove an offensive word on a section of fencing, telecoms will be approached about the spray on the windows.

The Brooklands Terrace intersection, with its new traffic light control and bus lanes, is planned to come into service by mid-February. The Council were informed that the work plan is running about two weeks behind schedule.

The Community centre floor has been sanded and varnished with a light coloured stain.

Low cost housing. Purchasers have to be first time buyers and are charged 70% of the purchase price. The other 30% is owned by the housing association but canplanningupdate be purchased from them. At the present time there are 3 properties at the Redrow site and 4 at the Bellway site available. Under the present rules these are only available for Vale residents and families including aunts, uncles, nephews and nieces. Before applicants are sought outside the area the council considered greater effort should be made to find local purchasers.

Councillors received a report on a recent meeting between the Vale 106 officer, councillors and library representatives relating to replacing the library building.

If you would like to attend a demonstration on the use of this vital piece of equipment please contact the Clerk to the Council (see page 2) who will arrange an additional course(s) when he has sufficient numbers, usually around 20 participants.

Allotment wardens reported on a bonfire on the allotments that got out of hand and resulted in the attendance of the fire brigade to extinguish it.

The two fir trees on the Village Green have been removed resulting in an improved appearance of the area.
