Cllr G Williams :
People asking about ELDC budgets, the report looks sound with contingency and reserves in the
budget for essential services until the Spring.
Energy – have been buying ahead, this will end in approx. 6 months then anticipating a big jump
in costs.
Materials – prices and availability of materials needed for projects are a barrier. This is the cause
for delays on Roman Bank as it has been difficult to source Tarmac.
Capital Projects – VAT so far has not been affected however where it will be in the future is
unsure.

There has been a big increase in staff costs, wages are being negotiated at this time. More
information will be gained at the next meeting.
Council moving from Tenna Hall to Horncastle in the new year, Tenna Hall will be up for sale.
Asylum seekers – the public are raising concerns to councils that along with hotels in Skegness
accommodating alylum seekers they have worries another hotel in Skegness and one in Chapel
St Leonards are also going to be homing more. The concerns around this are how this may affect
tourism if even more hotels are not available to accommodate holiday makers. Business owners
in Skegness are particularly worried about how less tourism will affect their business. There are
no known plans for any further hotels to be used than already is at this time however there can
be no notification until asylum seekers as taken to the hotels.
Question by the public at meeting – ‘we have heard Butlins will be also used for accommodating
asylum seeker and also some closed holiday sites’. There is no evidence of this and would be
highly unlikely due to the flood risks in the area hence why most sites are closed for the winter
months.
Covid vaccination boosters – people have been experiencing limited availability to book their
booster on-line. When there is no availability the on-line system will show available slots in
Boston or areas further away. Advised if this happens to keep checking daily rather than book and
travel long distances as new appointments are updated as and when they are available in the
local vicinity.
6 - Approval of the minutes from the October meeting of APC.
Approved.
7 – Updates on actions from previous meetings.
Discussion around the speed cameras in Anderby Village and now they can be dropped/moved

programming of the flashing system.
Simon Fields has agreed to water the flower tubs to be placed at the entrance to Anderby Village.
Beach wheelchair – information to be shared with all the caravan sites in the area so holiday
makers, owners are aware and to determine interest.
8 – Reports from Councillors re: external meetings.
Meeting with Matthew David re: Island, Anderby Creek. Matthew shared LCC are happy with the
plans to continue.
9 – Information about the Outer Dowsing Wind Farm and its impact on the local community.
From meetings attended no difference from how Tritton Knoll was can be seen. A and B plans
for locality are Hogsthorpe and South Wolla Bank Landing. The National Grid will say where they
want to Substations and connections to be. Substations will be buried underground with cables
under the beach and sand dunes to the windmills. The company have stated on land they will do
anything to not to have to touch any buildings.
Residents at the meeting shared their concerns for if lorries travel through the village and how
they felt the paperwork sent to residents ‘felt bullyish like a compulsory order’.
The company like for Tritton Knoll have offered that anything they can do for the community
they will. More meetings are to take place.
10 –Mud on the road at Sandy Lane.
This has been caused by lorries turning near Carpet Alley. A resident is planning to stone where
