  1. MATTERS ARISING

 

The clerk stated that she had received an email from Cllr Squires giving information on a new officer Mr Chris Parkes at Devon CC who is now dealing with Traffic Regulation Orders and she had asked about the progress of the TRO for Pennymoor and Lapford. The officer stated that it would be dealt with in the next financial year.

 

The clerk informed the meeting that she had emailed Chris Parkes asking for details of how the TRO would progress and the timescales.

 

  1. PARISH COUNCILLOR VACANCY

 

The clerk stated that the day after Allison Clements resigned as Parish Councillor, she asked to retract her resignation. However, as Mid Devon DC had already been informed of the resignation it was necessary to readvertise the vacancy for the required 14 working days. Mid Devon DC had confirmed that no-one had requested an election within the required timescale and therefore it was ok to co-opt a parish councillor.

 

Proposal: Mr P. Lake proposed and Mrs Mitchell seconded co-opting Allison Clements back onto the parish council and the meeting unanimously agreed.

The following potholes were reported:

 

  • On approach to turn off at Peak Corner on B3137
