COUNCIL VACANCIES
Two vacancies still exist plus the appointment of a new chairman for the planning committee.

LYMPSTONE HERALD
A public meeting will be held on the 16th of January 2006 in the Village hall to discuss the contents and format of the Herald.
NEW HARBOUR AUTHORITY FOR THE EXE
Discussions on the Exeter City Council proposals for the Exe Estuary (circulated) centred on the proposal that boat owners would be asked to pay for the creation and maintenance of a new harbour authority. It’s main functions would seem to be maintaining buoys and employing harbour masters (based at Exmouth) whose main functions would be collecting fees. Mooring associations and clubs will also be expected to collect fees.
PLANNING MATTERS
Discussions on the proposal for 60, 2 and 3 storey houses (including 24 affordable or shared equity homes) on the Trafalgar Road site were postponed after some discussion, pending the arrival on various reports on the site including one on drainage.
YOUTH CLUB
With new (part-time) staff appointed, 52 young people used the facilities the previous Friday.
ANY OTHER MATTERS
TRAINS
It was reported that with a new operator, on the schedule for trains through the village, the weekday pattern would cover Saturdays so that more trains stop at Lympstone.
FLOOD GATES
There will be a meeting within a couple of weeks to discuss their operation generally and in particular the pattern of closing. (Please see article by Cllr D Atkins elsewhere.)
