190421/2 Declarations of Interest a) No declarations of interest by any member of the council in respect of the agenda items. b) No dispensations given to any member of the council in respect of the agenda items.

190421/3 Minutes of Previous Meeting The minutes of the meeting held on the 15 th March 2021 were approved by members. It was agreed that they would be signed as soon as is practicable. Proposed: Cllr Parvin, seconded: Cllr Wintersgill.

190421/4 Public Participation Residents spoke in regard to revised application 819/02944/PLF at Land North of Langdale Cottage, King Street, Sancton. The residents were unhappy with the Planning Committee meeting’s decision to pass this application. The two extra parking places were not for residents but for guests coming to the new houses. Planning permission for the parking has been previously granted but not acted upon as the developer never fulfilled the proposals. The parking provision from the September 1995 permission was never fulfilled and when this was challenged in June 2005 (within the 10 year scope for planning matters), residents were advised that ERYC didn’t have the resources to follow- up the issue. It was noted that Cllr Rudd spoke against the development, but Cllr Hammond did not back him up which the residents are unhappy about. The other concern is that the developer may try to build on the land at the back meaning residents will not be able to park on the private road and although the PC is building a car park to help them, there is nothing to stop people parking outside the cottages. They were also worried that a disabled resident will lose their normal parking place and although they have a blue badge, there is nowhere specific to use it. Cllr Cary agreed to speak with the Ward Councillors about their concerns.

190421/5 Reports from Ward Councillor(s) None present.

190421/6 Highways/Footpaths • Goldie Bank works remain ongoing – Clerk to chase. • Matters for ERYC Streetscene – Cllr Shepherd will be going instead of Cllr Liley.

190421/7 Police Matters/Crime/Neighbourhood Watch A new Police Constable, Abigail Davis, has been assigned to but will also cover Sancton and the surrounding areas. There is no confirmation as to when or if the police surgery will open at Market Weighton Town Council offices.

Some of the daffodils have been relocated before the car park works commence.
