I intended going to a Town Council meeting for this evening’s blog report, but it has been postponed. So this is a very short report.
Town Council staff will soon move from Old Abbey House to the building above the Registry Office in Roysse Court – its back view is still covered in scaffold. Those upstairs offices have been ‘To Let’ for some years, while owned by the Vale of White Horse District Council, and are being brought back into use by the Town Council, as recent planning applications show.
On 5th November there was a planning application to remove lath and plaster to allow treatment of common furniture beetle, and death watch beetle in the timbers.
On 10th December another application was put in to remove and replace the existing chimney.
How many of the councillors have death watch beetle in their timbers, I think we should be told?
I wonder why the TC meeting was postponed?
David – it was due to be the budget setting meeting. THe relevant information from central government about local government grants and tax base was not available in time to prepare budget information for this council meeting.
An additional Full Council meeting had already been put into the calendar for January to cover such a situation – and this will go ahead instead of the December meeting.
Ah, that makes sense.
John: that is confidential information between councillor and their GP. Leave it.
