North Nibley Parish Council Meeting

5th March 2025

As always it was pleasure attending the Parish Council meeting last night along with Cllr Braun. Cllr Cohen sent apologies. Here are my personal notes.

Cllr Roland Brown was confirmed as the new Chair of the Council.

A member of the public presented some good work undertaken seeking funding of and installation (with the involvement of the Cotswold Wardens) of three kissing gates on a local footpath. I didn't catch the precise location.

The Council's activities log was reviewed and brief updates given. This log offers great insight into all the activity going on in the parish. This level of openness and transparency is excellent.

The previous minutes were approved. An election hadn't been called following the resignation of Councillor Carr so the Council is able to co-opt another councillor.

There were quite a few questions around the District and County Councillors reports. Responsibility of an area of land at Tydale Close. Bench in the play area. Payments and finances discussed. Three planning applications were considered, no formal comment would be made about them.

Updates on the Play Area lease agreement which is more complex than anticipated at the outset. But working through it step by step. Biodiversity group saw 26 members involved in the churchyard clearup. The Road Safty group has establish terms of reference. Village Defibrillators locations discussed again.

Myself and Cllr Braun left at this point for a quick catch-up meeting in the car park.
