Minutes – Nov 2016

The minerals plan is due to be considered for release at the MK Council Meeting on 21st October 2015. MKC delayed it due to doing extra reviews. Once this is done then public consultation will begin. This is the last time MKC can amend the plan once done this will be sent to planning inspector and they will decide and make a view of how it could be. Once this is done MKC can only make a yes or no decision. There will be a series of public meetings to allow people to have a look and see what is going on. The view of the PC is to wait for the content, however James Fishwick the chair of the Lathbury Parish Meeting has advised he/Lathbury have fed back at every point and the view is twofold. The one against Sherington going along the river is the main area and is it fair nothing changed between two drafts. James Fishwick has advised they do not think MKC have gone about this in the right manner. MKC need to learn and work with the communities and to listen. On 21st October there is a full MK Council meeting to address and raise the issues, Lathbury will be making an appearance with residents and one business, he advise physical numbers do make a difference. Ward Cllr Hosking advised correspondence needs to be to the point.

Cllr Collinge spoke about resubmitting the PC’s previous response, as Cllr Collinge is the only member of the previous council it was agreed to send all cllrs the response and then to make a decision as to what to send in response. A response needs to be made to reiterate the PC views as this is a different stage.

5.2 Have contacted two people to come and look at the shop door and will advise shortly once this has been completed

5.3 The new bench has now arrived and is currently in storage at the Pavilion, just need a decision on where this should be located – will send around three options for a decision from the cllrs
