(4) Matters Arising:-
(a) David Johnson reported on his meeting with the Development Control
Manager, Gareth Jones at HDC offices, ref. the Council's 4 unresolved
cases lodged with the 'Enforcement Officer'. Mr Jones apologised for
lack of progress but blamed the volume of cases (approx 1000 to date)
and lack of resources. He had however investigated our complaints and
reported to Mr Johnson. It appears that very little can be done to assuage
the Parish Council. Since this meeting the owner of Ruby Cottage has
indicated he will apply to retain the access road,

the pit for permission to 'layer' the hedges, they were in agreement
