1723. NCC Public Transport Letter Aug 2014 &
changes to services 418, X15 & X18.
(Response to be in by 10th Oct.)
These proposals will
half the amount of buses running during the winter months,
(unfortunately NCC propose that the winter months will run until
July). John Gallon emailed AONB who believe the proposals are not
as bad as they first thought, but they felt the winter timetable should
end in time for the busy Easter weekend.
Action Point: John will draw up a
response & forward to the Clerk to send to Ian Coe NCC Transport
Support Manager & circulate to all Parish Councillors.
Proposed by Bryn Owen
& seconded by Joyce Shaw. All in favour.
1724. 14/02919/FUL Harbour Lights alterations to
rear & balcony.
(Response to be in by 12th Oct.)
Harbour Lights plans are
currently with Martin who is absent from tonight’s Meeting.
Margaret spoke to Elizabeth & the Clerk about her concerns that the
balcony is not in keeping with the area. Next door to Harbour
Lights the neighbour is worried that it may have an effect on their
porch & the removal of walls etc. may have an impact on the
foundations. The Parish Council considered the plans & some
Councillors felt the plans were not easy to understand.
Action Point: Clerk to enter ‘no
objection’ on the NCC website.
1725. NCC– Joint Town/Parish Council Meeting Mon 13th
Oct 6pm St James Church Hall Alnwick.
This Meeting between NCC
& Town/Parish Councils is an ideal opportunity to meet & speak
to the NCC Officers concerning our ongoing issues (parking, double
yellow lines, Dunstan water leak, planning issues, affordable homes
plots, bus services etc.).
Bryn Owen & John
Gallon requested permission from the Parish Council to attend this
Meeting as representatives of the PC & Craster community to make
progression on our ongoing items.
Pauline felt that the
lack of ongoing information on the work they are carrying out between
Meetings made her feel like they did not trust the other members of the
PC, & with the continuing emphasis on doing things properly &
by the book that there should be regular updates via email or phone
between Meetings. Elizabeth agreed & wished that the ongoing
information was emailed around & when asked for an update – the
update is forthcoming.
Bryn & John voiced
their concerns that most of what they set out to achieve is being
criticized.
Alan Punton proposed
that Bryn & John be allowed to attend the NCC Meeting on behalf of
the Parish Council & to update us all at the October Meeting,
seconded by Joyce Shaw.
The
next Meeting will be on Thursday 16th October 2014.
