APM Report
Posted
There was a disappointing attendance at this year's Annual Parish Meeting, held at the Village Hall on Tuesday, 23rd May, but, as somebody pointed out, you really need a good controversial local issue to get people to turn-out on such a pleasant evening.
Those who did attend heard an interesting presentation from the Guest Speaker, Emily Winter, on her work for the Waveney Valley Trust, on four days a week, and at Darrow Farm for the other three. The former included - working to provide good water quality and good public access to the river, with paddle-boarding increasingly popular. On the farm she explained the problems caused by modern farming methods and her efforts to move towards more sustainable agriculture.
Terry Hanner presented his Report as Chairman of the PC and thanked his fellow councillors, and others, who had contributed so much to community life during the year.
Reports on their activities were delivered by: The Church in Denton, The Art Group, The WI, the Gardening Club and the Village Hall Management Committee.
Chris Brown, as one of our District Councillors, reported on the latest developments at South Norfolk particularly the move of the Council's offices to the Horizon Centre at the Broadland Business Park.
The last Item on the agenda was Public Participation providing residents with an opportunity to raise their concerns. The only matter raised was the continuing problems caused by potholes in local roads. These had already been taken up by the Parish Council with the Highways Authority but would be pursued.
