Looks like those of us, including Councillor Chilvers and
Mr & Mrs McCann, who have insisted the Parish Council does a technical
and financial risk assessment BEFORE accepting public ownership of the Memorial
Garden, may have won.
The Council, chaired
by Jan Strelcenie, seemed to be in a huge rush to take over the Memorial from
the Parish History Society that failed to secure a financial grant, ‘run’ by
Jan Strelczenie.
Yesterday, what looks
like a Parish Council Group was poking about in the Memorial Garden and may have been measuring
the depth of water in the possibly contaminated tanks.
I assume it was a Parish Council group even though there was
no mention of any intention on Thursday night. Chairman Strelczenie and the Parish Clerk were there with Councillor Forbes-Davidson. The Vice-chairman Bob Procter was there, separated
from the Group, under the trees, maybe scrutinising relevant paperwork which is said to
be in very short supply.
We will be delighted with the transfer of ownership
if the risk assessments say it is safe to do so.
I was delighted to see the Parish Clerk, who was too ill to attend Thursday night’s Parish Council, is well again.
