Firstly is the monthly update from County Councillor Overton, received 08 Oct 2012:
"Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I hope you are well and enjoying our village events this Autumn as much as I am.
Please find the October News attached (with pictures)...
Kind Regards,
Marianne"
Parish Council Meeting held on Tuesday, 2nd October 2012.
A much depleted Parish Council sat for its
October meeting with two of our members having resigned, our Chair ill and
apologies for absence from Councillor Faulkner.
However, under the guidance of Councillor Goldsworthy, the Vice Chair,
and our new Clerk Stephen Altridge, although lively at times, thanks to the
large resident turn out a busy and interesting agenda was completed in a timely
manner.
These are some of the exciting new projects
and initiatives in the pipeline:
Village
Hall. The
Parish Council is to become an affiliated member of Village Hall Community
Lincs. Free advice can then be obtained
from all sorts of sources and hopefully substantial amounts of funding. Our Village Hall, having served us so well
for the past 30 years, is in now need of a makeover and so that it is able to
meet the needs of the present and next 30 years.
Donation
of Book Collection.
A resident of Nocton, Michael Holden, has a large number of books,
mostly historical and some quite precious that he has generously donated to the
Parish Council to sell. The proceeds
from the sale will be held in a special fund to use for the whole community. Details about the sale appear elsewhere in
The Doodle.
Best
Kept Village 2013 is to be launched at the
Christmas Fair on Saturday 24th November.
“Sowing the Seeds”. There will be
sign-up sheets for anyone interested and what an individual’s skills are! The first actual meeting will be held in the
New Year, when planning in earnest will begin.
Nocton
Hall. District Councillor John Money gave a summary
on the current position regarding the Hall in the light of recent reports which
are being considered by NKDC. It is
clear that it is still very much in the balance as to how the Hall will, or can,
be developed in the future. However, the
Chair, Vice-chair and Councillor Hall are to meet with senior officers at NKDC
on 9th October when, it is hoped, they will receive a more
up-to-date briefing which can be shared with residents more generally.
Broad
Band. If
Nocton is to benefit from the £57millon that is being offered for communities
with slow or virtually non existent broadband connection, then it is important
that residents (with or without) computers sign up for a share of this
funding. For, as with so much these
days, it is those who shout the loudest who get the most.
If you have a computer, please log onto www.onlincolnshire.org and follow the
instructions or phone 01522 782066.
If you wish to see a full Parish Council report
please look on the Parish Council Website or one of the Parish notice boards.
Date of next meeting: Tuesday 6th November at 7pm.
Finally, quite a nice and apt quote………..
Councillor MaryAnn Williams
