A.O.B.
D.Cllr Greenhalgh gave a brief report.
There will be a 1.75% Council Tax increase. N.B. Somerset has the second lowest.
MDC are going to resolve the Yew Tree Cottage planning issue using 'delegated powers'.
The Parish Council reiterated the opinion the entire issue has been misrepresented by vendor and developers, that MDC were made aware early-on and the application surely has no validity.
There being no further business the meeting was closed.
