Apologies Cllr C Forster; Cllr S Hannington; Cllr J Kershaw, D Cllr R Loughlin There were no Disclosures of Interest. Minutes of The minutes of the previous meeting were approved and signed. Previous Meeting Matters Arising Flooding: the work of the Environment Agency, Thames Water and ECC The Chairman began the meeting by expressing sympathy to all those residents who that had been affected by the recent flooding. He identified several points of real concern where attention was very much needed. These were the roadside bank at the northern end of the village, the drainage system at the top of Butt Lane; the centre and southern end of the village and the maintenance of and widening of the River Stort. There then followed a wide ranging discussion which focused on the works of the different agencies involved and the lack of maintenance of the river, ditches and drains and the inability of the drains to cope with the deluge. It was decided that an open meeting should be convened to which representatives of the different agencies would be invited in order to try to identify long term solutions. CCllr Gooding agreed to be fully involved in the meeting. There was nothing further to add at the moment on the Almshouses.

On the north wall of what used to be called 'Battles' Chapel', now the vestry of St Mary's Church, Manuden, is a large, elaborate tablet extolling the virtues of Sir William Waad who lived at Battles Hall, Manuden from 1586 to 1623. Sir William Waad of Manuden – Saffron Walden Historical Journal No 8 (2004) William was the eldest surviving son of Armigel Waad, a Yorkshireman and an interesting character. Armigel had been educated at Oxford, studied law in the Inns of Court in London, and in April 1536 set sail from Gravesend in the Mignion. In two months he reached America and was back at St Ives, Cornwall, by October after a memorable journey. Some have called him the 'English Columbus' crediting him with landing in America before Gilbert or Raleigh, but of course many other people had travelled there before him.
