PARISH COUNCIL MEETING: The Parish Council met on Wednesday 12th October in the Village Hall at the usual time of 7:00pm and Councillor Rob Boeuf took the chair for the evening with fellow councillors present and clerk to the council Nigel Johnson recording the event. County and District councillors were present for information and advice if needed.
A representative from Bassetlaw District Council was present to outline the BDC proposed Garden Waste Scheme. The new scheme will involve a bi-weekly collection of garden waste, e.g. grass cuttings and shrubbery, but not soil, from March to November and will cost householders who join the scheme £30.00 per annum. A different coloured bin will be supplied for this purpose. The facility at Hallcroft Waste Disposal site will continue to operate as usual.
Members of the public raised the question of tractors running through the village until 10pm in the evening. The trailers do not appear to be sheeted or netted and in windy conditions contents were blowing onto resident’s gardens as well as road and verges. Noise and weights seemed to bother and disturb older residents in the village. County Councillor Liz Yates has already organised a meeting with local farmers to discuss the issue.
