15 minutes for Parishioner Input
A Parishioner reported a case Fly tipping at location close to Holly Gardens, and Mr Perks reported that in Pound Lane approximately 3 lorry loads were dumped. Mr Ashdown suggested that Mark Daniels of Waveney Norse Cleansing Department was the person to contact in such cases.  Since May a resident of Orchard Lane has been experiencing a nuisance problem most often on Friday nights during the hours of between 10.30 and 2a.m., of fruit being thrown at her windows on at least 5 occasions. Councillor Ashdown offered to inform PCSO Kershaw on Thursday at the Northern Parishes Liaison meeting but the Clerk offered to give the lady concerned her email address.
Other Parish Business Mr Wade has received a complaint about the trailers parked outside the Piano Gallery; the clerk will email the PCSO Kershaw about this problem. He had received a complaint that a Mr & Mrs Harness hedge on Lound Road is encroaching onto the carriageway, the Clerk was asked to contact the owner and ask for it to be trimmed back. And the edge and surface on the sharp bend on Lound Road needs attention; Mr. Ashdown would contact the relevant department.

Police report
PCSO Kershaw had sent a written report in which she stated that there had been 1 reported crime during the Month of June which was criminal damage by persons unknown, to the Skate Park when a piece of equipment was sawn through and then the piece left at the scene! It was also reported that the Neighbourhood Watch is being re-launched in Lound Road.  
W.D.C. Ashdown reported that following the Local Government review there has been a judicial enquiry in which the judge said that the Boundary Commission were wrong in their decision to change the boundaries. Speed Watch is going to be presented at the Northern parishes Liaison meeting it was considered that this could be done on a group basis with the Northern Parishes sharing a camera and expenses. He will be attending a meeting on Monday regarding the position with the School reorganisation since SCC say that they have no Funds. A New Government legislation which has recently come about is called Councillor for Action; it will help councils obtain help more quickly when nothing seems to happening after repeated requests from Parish Councils. Mrs Townend asked what the judicial review of the Boundary changes was about, she was told that it was felt that the local people had not had enough input. She also asked if the people with the speed guns would be allowed to stand on the side of the B1074 if the Police say it is not safe for them to do so. Mr Rees asked if there was any news on the new Campus, Mr Ashdown said there is no update on the new Campus.
County Councillors Mr M. Barnard and Mr C. Law arrived late and explained that they had been attending Oulton Parish Council meeting, they introduced themselves and explained that they would in future divide the attendance at Parish Council meetings so that one of them is always able to attend.

Planning
Mr. Kimble Reynolds - Two Hoots, Church Road, building 2 new cottages on Old Fire Station Site, Church Road.
There had been an extra planning meeting to discuss this item and it had been decided to refuse this application for the following reasons, 1. The Site is too small. 2. There are already several new developments in the pipeline in Blundeston and Councillors are disappointed that there are two more proposed dwellings. 3. The off road car parking allowance is insufficient - there are already major problems with car parking along this winding narrow road, although it is mentioned that there is off road parking for one car at each dwelling, the Councillors know that the residents do not necessarily park off road. It was also pointed out to the Planning Department that in the accompanying letter the statement that the site had originally held three cottages was misleading as the present adjoining property was originally three cottages, one was demolished and two made into one dwelling. The original Chapel, the present structure has never been residential.
Two other planning applications had arrived after the agenda had been published
Mr. & Mrs D. Pitcher, 69, The Street, Single storey rear extension.  Approved
Mr. & Mrs. M. Tillet, 67, The Street, Single Storey rear extension.   Approved
Correspondence
A Quotation had been received from Moore’s Fencing and Timber Products - for a new post and rail to Lound Road Footpath for £240.00 it will look like the original metal fencing but will be timber. It was agreed to accept the quote.
