Concern was expressed about the parking of large trailers at GS Patios in Station Road for periods of time. Parking of vehicles at Scotts Wharf was causing problems of access, and vehicles parking either side of the entrance to Rusty Lane on Sunday mornings are causing an obstruction on the High Street, and problems for cars emerging from the Lane.
The next waste skips will be placed at the following locations and dates:
25th February Three Magpies: 25th March Seend Social Club.
The next meeting of the Council will be held at Seend Social Club on Tuesday, 22nd February at 7.30p.m.
Mrs. Rosemary Fisher, Clerk to the Council.
