·         Minutes of the last meeting read and agreed

·         Arising – We had had a reply from Lincolnshire County Council about Watts Lane.  There was a correction to Patrick’s earlier advice, as the County Council no longer directly provides policing.  Their letter was inadequate to address the liability issue, and a strong reply was authorised.

·         There was a discussion about the ownership of land vs rights of way over it, whether public or private.

·         Buses – James reported the bus route and parking enforcement were being reviewed in the round following strong representations by the public and the Town Council.

·         There was a discussion of the national and local Blue Badge disabled parking arrangements, in which the distinction between District Council owned car parks and adopted highways was highlighted.

·         Those who attended the pantomime and quiz night expressed appreciation of the events.

There being no other business the meeting closed at 8:20 p.m.
