The members understand that there has been no change to the number of car parking spqces brought about by the decking and note that many patrons wqlk to the Robin Hood Inn.
The decking provides a welcome addition to the facilities ovailable to the community and has helped with the continuing success ofthe Inn.
The Parish Council is fully supportive of this application for the decking in its current form and request that permission be granted". The motion was proposed by Cllr C Harvey seconded tly Cllr G Cooper and agreed by the meeting.
