BRANXTON PARISH COUNCIL Parish Council website: www.branxtonvillage.weebly.com Minutes of the Parish Council Meeting held on Tuesday 11th December 2018, In Branxton Village Hall at 7p.m. Highways- Parish Councillors considered the information regarding the height of fences/hedges on the edge of the Highway and agreed, they would like to remind residents that any fences/hedges over 1mtr high on the edge of the highway require planning permission. Budget & Precept 2019/20- Parish Councillors considered the current year’s expenditure and agreed to increase the precept by £100 in2019/20, as there has been no increase since 2016/17 and additional funds may be required to replace a litter bin. Parish Councillor R Neill proposed and Parish Councillor I MacGregor seconded that the precept for 2019/20 will be £900, this was agreed. Litter Bin- Parish Councillor I MacGregor informed the meeting that he had been approached by a resident asking if the old open topped litter bin next to the seat at the grass area could be replaced. Parish Councillors agreed the Clerk contact Northumberland County Council and ask them for a recommendation on what type of litter bin should be purchased and enquire how often the bins in Branxton are emptied. Road Signs- The Chairman informed the meeting that a few months ago the Parish Council raised concerns with Northumberland County Council about the safety of the northern junction into Branxton when heading south from the A697, and Northumberland County Council had said they would look at the signage. He concluded by saying new signage has been erected which appears to be an improvement. Date of the next Parish Council Meeting will be held on 12th March 2019 at 7.00 p.m. in Branxton Village Hall. 3 EDF-ER Barmoor Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund Applications for consideration at the April 2019 meeting of the EDF-ER Barmoor Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund Must be submitted by Monday 25 February 2019 Who can apply?

Eric appeared on programmes 2 and 3 of the most recent series, which were broadcast on ITV on 2 and 3 January respectively. Both had been recorded, however, at Salford Media City on the evening of 30 November, so Eric, his wife Jane (who was in the audience) and their immediate family had to keep quiet about the good news for more than a month so as not to spoil the surprise on the night.
