The Minutes of 4 November 2019 were read, agreed and signed by the Chairman as a true record.
Clerks Report
A letter had been sent to Lincolnshire County Council Leader Councillor Hill regarding the slate on the frontage of Washcroft House at Moortown. A response had been received advising the work would be carried out shortly. The Parish Council would follow this up to ensure the work was carried out.
Egdon
The leader of the group against the Egdon development was present at the meeting and brought along a copy of the letter some residents in Moortown had received. It did not include the dwellings nearest to the development. Had the other Parish Councils received this letter as it was clear that South Kelsey Parish Council clearly was not?
The letter states that Egdon was granted permission by LCC in 2014 and supported by both North and South Kelsey Parish Councils and continues to the permission being extended in May 2018. Reading as this was supported by the two Parish Councils. This was not the case and was rather ambiguous in its statement.
Other Councils against the application were Caistor and Holton le Moor.
Due to the continued work by Anglian Water in Holton le Moor the road was not due to be open until into February 2020 and this is the major route to be used by Egdon traffic. Egdon must be off the site by the end of 2020 and it was asked if there was sufficient time to carry out the work or would an extension of time be requested.
There was to be a Community Liaison Group set up taking in a cross section of representatives and it was thought this may be made up of who Egdon would choose and no objectors included.
It was asked if the group could rely on the continued support of the Parish Council and asked for a letter to be sent to Egdon asking for its contents to be clarified. The Parish Council agreed to write asking the questions and also to the other Parish Council if they were in receipt of the letter. 1JS
