Issue - meetings

To confirm as a correct record and sign the minutes of the meetings held on 21 April and 18 May 2010 (copies attached).

The Chairman announced that future agendas would include Matters Arising, directly after the Minutes from the previous meeting.

The Board members then went on to discuss the following under matters Arising:

·         The Board had hoped to see a revised plan of the proposed Gypsy and Traveller sites which included the sites within the bordering counties. As yet, a revised plan had not been presented to them. Councillor Jose Green explained that Wiltshire Council needed provision for eighteen pitched across the South of Wiltshire, with a total of eighty nine across the whole of Wiltshire.

·         Only some of the Parishes contacted since the last meeting regarding a reduction in street lighting had responded. The Community Area Manager agreed to liaise with the other Parishes to formulate a plan which would be brought to the next meeting of the Area Board.

·         Councillors Bridget Wayman and Tony Deane had met to discuss the options for the Tisbury Middle School Site. The findings would be brought to the next Area Board meeting for discussion.

·         Under item 12, Parish Councillor Charles Smith had asked the Board to help find a solution to a speeding issue in Dinton. Councillor Toby Sturgis had agreed to arrange a meeting between interested parties to find a way forward. Unfortunately Councillor Sturgis did not schedule a meeting, so the Chairman Councillor Wayman had done so instead.
