A meeting of Odstock Parish Council was
held on 15th September 2004 in The Radnor Hall at
Bodenham.
Present: Rod Poynting (Chairman), Cliff
Whitley (Vice-Chairman), Sue Nicholls, Brian Clake,
Sherwood Elcock, Richard Parsons (Clerk), and one member
of the public. Apologies were received from Wiltshire
County Cllr Julian Johnson and Salisbury District Cllr
Bryan Rycroft, Simon Martin and Colin Berry.
62/04 Declaration of Interest: None.
63/04 Minutes of the Annual PC meeting
held on 19th May, having been circulated, were agreed as
a true record.
64/04 Bus Shelters: WCC would consider
an additional Bus Shelter at Bodenham on a shared cost
basis.
65/04 Jubilee Gardens: The Chairman and
Cllr Elcock agreed to obtain advice on an appropriate
scheme for repairing the effects of erosion of the
riverbanks. A least two proposals would be required to
satisfy grant funding.
66/04 Youth Development: No progress to
report.
67/04 Bonfires and Garden Waste: The
proposed Wiltshire Wildlife Trust 'shredder day' could
not be organised because of the non-availability of a
suitable site. The PC needs to be better prepared for WWT
offers.
68/04 Management of the Nunton Field:
Cllr Clake produced a management plan indicating the
likely net cost of managing the field would be about £1,400
before the cost of the lease and the cost of hedge
cutting. This included, annually, 6 car boot sales, 25
football matches, as an overflow car park once or twice
for village parties etc and the Village Fete. Members
believe that parishioners should be encouraged to help
with day-to-day management. It was agreed that helpers
should be sought by publishing the PC's intentions in
News and Notes.
69/04 Developing the Nunton Field: A
parishioner had donated a prefabricated double garage and
Cllr Whitley stated that the PC would soon be ready to
submit a planning application to SDC. The utility
suppliers will be notified of the change of tenant and it
is probable that an independent survey of the electricity
service will be required.
70/04 Recycling and Waste Management:
The Clerk reported that he had attended the Waste
consultation meeting at Downton on 15-Sep where WCC was
seeking feedback from Parish Councils on behalf of
Council Taxpayers.
