PARISH COUNCIL HERALD NOTES
LYMPSTONE PARISH COUNCIL
HERALD NOTES – Jan 2003
RURAL AID GRANT
The Parish Council received two requests for Rural Aid support this year.
One from the Lympstone Sea Scouts seeking funding towards installing water and
drainage facilities in the Scout Hut on the Cliff and the second request for a
further 75 chairs for the Village Hall. Both schemes have been supported
by the Parish Council and are to be put forward to East Devon District Council
for consideration.
PLATFORM HEIGHT
The Parish Council has been
concerned for some time about the height of the platform at the station in the
village. We have been in contact with Railtrack and the Health and Safety
Executive about the problem. We have been told that the County Council have
undertaken a feasibility study and prepared plans for Railtrack to consider
raising the platform, it is hoped that this will eventually bear fruit.
BEST KEPT VILLAGE COMPETITION
Sadly, no one came forward
offering to pursue this competition so we have not entered this year. If
anyone would like information about the competition, perhaps for the future,
please give me a ring.
