Three members of the public, District Cllr Casson and one member of the
press.
1) Chairman’s Welcome.
The Chair welcomed everyone to the meeting and confirmed, neither
Ward in Moulton Parish would require an election due to less
nominations put forward than seats available.
2) Apologies for Absence
Cllr Kirk, Ingham, Henderson
3) Public Forum
A member from the ‘Green Group’ was welcomed by the Chair. This
member explained why the group was formed and their aims for the
future within the churchyard.
The main aim being to create biodiversity within the churchyard by:
-Adding to the hedge at the border to the river to thicken it.
-Planting Crab apple and Cherry trees at the border with the houses
(Church Rd)
-Planting an English Lavender corridor, roughly alongside the tarmac
path, leaving a gap for grass cutting.
-Trim brambles back on post office side.
Cllr Wakefield suggested the group have a word with the Drainage
Board in respect to planting hedging near the river at the back.
District Cllr Casson suggested he could make some enquiries with the
Drainage Board and would report back to the Parish Council via the
Clerk.

Cllr Hahn asked the group if they had thought about any financial
help, which they had not. It was agreed the Parish should support
financially if needs be.
Cllr Sneath had one concern, passing places needed along paths if a
lavender corridor was put in for buggies etc.
A member of the group asked if the Parish council were responsible
for the church wall as there are weeds growing within the wall that
need addressing. Multiple Cllrs agreed that they believe it is the
church’s responsibility.

Park update

in again asap.
