Cllr Dawson stated:

‘There is a revised methodology to investigate village sizes and a review will be sent to all Parish Councils.

The ELDC Local Plan should have been reviewed and amended already but has not and the estimated time of completion is now in 2025.

Councillor Grants can be applied for – 3 areas competing – Chapel, Anderby and Hogsthorpe.

Traveller incursions into the District – advice is that the Owner of the property that the Travellers have camped on, must take action themselves. A review is to be carried out by ELDC on the procedures involved in controlling Gypsy Sites

A response from ELDC regarding Horse riding on the beaches has been provided.’

Cllr Davie stated:

‘The National Grid plans have not gone away and they have commissioned an Environmental Impact report covering the area from Grimsby to Alford.

Also we can expect a report on the Energy Infrastructure soon – looking particularly at on shore energy production from solar panels etc. LCC are against this in principle as it is industrialisation of the Wolds and area.

The Devolution Deal is due for further discussion, and the Mayoral system is the preferred option.

Very high tides are due over this winter, and if they coincide with easterly winds, then flooding is quite possible.

Avert – appears to be failing because there are too many Chiefs and not enough Indians.Red Cross is at loggerheads with LCC – request the draft note from APC Chair about his views on the recent exercise.

The Emergency Plan needs to be updated and signed off ASAP.

  1. Approval of the Minutes from September meeting of APC

So approved

  1. Reports from Councillors re external meetings

The Village Hall could also be a venue for aerobics and line dancing etc but would need a supervisor.
