Winterton Council

Annual Town Meeting tonight - 7:30pm at The Old School Hall - all welcome!

And that was that!

The latest accounts were approved.

Still object to a garage being converted to a house on Earlsgate (now at appeal).

No objections to a proposed house extension on Northlands Road.

The Council raised no objections to amended plans for fencing and lighting at the proposed Tesco site (ex Cross Keys).

A package of summer activities for children at the Old School Hall was agreed!

The youth service provision is being monitored in the light of concerns raised earlier in the meeting.

We have a downstairs office space available to let in The Ark on West Street - let us know if you are interested!

The Civic Service will be in the new Pavilion in the Autumn!

The new Pavilion on Newport Drive is on time to be opened shortly and for private events has a capacity of 350!

Council hasn't been consulted formally on proposed changes to De Lacy House but will say they must include respite, residential & day care.

The Council will give £10 prizes to the local children who win the 2013 School Posters Design Competition for a clean & tidy Winterton!

Local businesses are to be asked to sponsor our planters and hanging baskets!

Grants also given to the Show Committee (£200 towards the park & ride scheme) and the Senior Citizens' Forum (£250).

Grants were given to All Saints Church (£400 to maintain the church clock), Winterton Junior School (£2000 for their playarea refurbishment)

Former Youth Workers addressed us about their concerns over Youth Service changes and inaccuracies in a local newsletter (not ours!).

Jim Harding of the Winterton Senior Citizen's Forum thanked us for his civic award (much deserved)!

We were asked why we supported a planning application at the last meeting - but in fact we had opposed.

One asked about Winterton's Council Tax, national system means we pay more tax per pound raised than many others (a lot more in some cases)!
