Planning Applications
Numerous planning applications were discussed at length and decisions made re our policy.
Projects
-
Horse Statues - The quotes we have received are higher than anticipated so the Chairman will try to get more funding from the Town Council and ask them to accept ownership and apply for a licence from Highways.
-
September History Days exhibitions - An updated list of exhibitors was discussed and the publicity and other preparatory work needed.
-
St Mary's scythes - Two ancient scythes were on display and different means of dating them were discussed in an effort to establish if they were used in the Lincolnshire Uprising or the Civil War.
History Group
The Chairman will try to raise awareness of this newly formed group through articles in the local newspapers.
Any Other Business
The large numbers and locations of map dispensers in town were criticized. The maps were santioned by the District Council who no doubt gave permission for the dispensers.
