Just back from sitting in on the Parish Council AGM at the Pavilion tonight, where Bob Browne and Mark Inskip have been re-elected unopposed as Chairman and Vice-Chairman respectively.

There were questions from parish councillors to county councillor Phil Read about improving the road between Willingham and Earith, and about why the district council has taken the unusual step of abolishing its scrutiny committee and thereby reducing its accountability.  And the decision was made to grant £1,000 to the Feast Committee – hurrah!

It’s good to see the Parish Council in such a healthy state considering the situation it was facing two years ago.  There’s an appropriate amount of money in reserves, and some good work by the various working parties and panels bringing the council into shape with improved IT and tidier procedures.  All very heartening.
