A quotation for the installation of a skate park was being obtained. Ideas for developing the land adjacent to the new toilet block were being considered. An open meeting of the Seaton Park Improvements Group would take place at the Smugglers Inn, Seaton, at 11am on 30 th November 2013. The applicant for planning permission at Bowithen, Treliddon Lane, Downderry, addressed the Meeting stating that the proposed new dwelling would be an “Eco House” that the existing plot was adequate to include a second house and that shared access to the highway from the existing driveway would negate any requirement for additional new access onto the road. A member of the public stated that he hope the Parish Council would be able to support his written request for a reduced speed limit at Narkurs. New legislation assumes that all villages will have a 30 mph limit. The Chair apologised for having previously mislaid the letter dealing with this request. There being no further requests to address the meeting, the Chair closed the public participation period. 3. APOLOGIES: Apologies had been received from Cllr. G. A. J. Beach and Cllr. Ms. H. M.
