Social Car Scheme
Mrs Handley reported that Ms Alison Bourne from the County Council had
visited the last coffee morning and talked about the possible need for a car
scheme in the Eversdens. A number of people had appeared to be interested and so
a notice had been posted in Tailcorn and on the village web-site asking
potential clients, drivers and organisers to inform Mr and Mrs White. So far one
name had been received, but the information had only recently been published.
The matter would be further explored at the next coffee morning on 8th
June.

Speeding:
A letter had been received from Mr Malcolm Custerson regarding excessive
speeding in the villages. After discussion it was agreed that it was no longer
practical to press for a 30mph, but that we should ask for help in preserving
the present 40mph limit. It was agreed to ask for Interactive flashing signs to
be erected and to write to both Mr Lines at the Highways Dept and to the Chief
Constable with this request and to repeat the request until a practical result
is achieved
9
Draft Minutes
The following procedure was agreed. The draft minutes would be circulated
by email to members. Corrections should be sent to the chairman (and to no one
else) within seven days. The Chairman would then send the minutes to Mr Farnell
for publication on the village web-site. Any
corrections or objections after this should be raised at the next meeting of the
Council.
10
Affordable Housing
Mrs Handley reported on the meeting which she, the chairman, Mr White and
Mr Tebbit had attended at the SCDC offices with Cl. Heazell and the Deputy
Director of Planning and the Head of Strategic Housing. She said it had been a
very informative meeting. The planners favoured two sites of about 10 houses
each, rather than one large site. There were some problems of access with all
three viable sites, and a meeting with a representative from Highways would be
arranged by SCDC to consider this further.
11
The Hoops, Great Eversden
The Chairman reported that he had had a telephone call from Mr Michael
Kerr suggesting a public meeting for the village to discuss the future of the
public house. It was agreed that a sub-committee of Mr Dalton and Mr White be
appointed to reply to Mr Kerr summarising the opinion of the Parish Council and
others.
