Minutes

Some of you may have noticed that the 2013 minutes were wrong, we have now fixed that and apologise for any inconvenience caused. Also the 2014 minutes will be up as soon as they have been proved to be a true account of what happened at those meetings.

METAL DETECTING

The Council has become aware that people have been metal detecting on Council owned land particularly the Memorial Park and Wyke Gate Park. This has resulted in a number of holes being dug that are a hazard to other users of the facility. No consent has been given or will be given for this activity on any Council owned sites. The digging up of Council owned sites constitutes criminal damage and action will be taken against any individuals who are identified.

THORNE MEMORIAL PARK WALLED GARDEN

A report on the Walled Garden was considered at the Council meeting on 28th January 2014, when the following was agreed:

“Resolved to refurbish the area formally known as the Walled Garden in line with drawings and specification approved by Doncaster MBC Cabinet and this Town Council. Whilst the area will not be wholly dedicated in name, an area will be identified for a tree to be planted for Sgt. Lee Davison as requested by next of kin.”

NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN SUPPORT

Thorne-Moorends Town Council has been successful with a grant application to support the preparation of the Neighbourhood Plan for the Town Council area. A grant of £7,000 has been awarded by “Locality” which will help the Neighbourhood Planning Working Group with technical, printing and planning support. In addition the Council will also receive “in kind” support from Planning Aid.

The Plan will be moving onto its formal consultation stage in the near future, with a series of events being held from March. The dates for these will be publicised shortly.

Full information on the Plan is available on the dedicated website www.tmplan.org.
