County Councillor Report |
i)Councillor Brown reported that he is cabinet minister for Health and Social Services. He is involved in changing the way Dementia Care is provided. He asked that Kilsby look at ways to help the elderly.
ii)He encouraged the parish to put a bid in for grant funding from the Big Society bid, since funding available for youth provision will be limited.
iii) The County Council budget will be held with no increase but this has been very difficult to achieve and a further 700 people will be made redundant. NCC has the lowest Council tax of any Council in the Country.
iv) Highways and potholes appear to be more successful with fewer complaints received.

As part of the Localism bill, communities need to formulate a Neighbourhood plan as a guide to planning.

They are expecting to be able to charge for help with Neighbour plans when they become law. |

DDC state that since abatement there has been significant reduction in noise and will make occasional visits to check noise levels but will not take legal action.
