HAWKEDON PARISH COUNCIL

The Annual Meeting of the Hawkedon Parish Council was held on 25th May, at which the accounts for the year ending 31st March 2016 were presented, and agreed. The Parish Clerk reported on activities within the Parish for last year, and County Councillor Mary Evans reported on County and Borough matters.

The short meeting (attended by our Councillors and one member of the public – lured by the glass of wine perhaps?) was followed by an Ordinary Parish Council Meeting where the Clerk and Chairman updated members on various village events and other matters. There was considerable discussion about the Queen’s Head planning application, which is still on-going.

The generous offer by Mr John Ward to commemorate his Grandfather, John Clarke (whose death at the Battle of the Somme is recorded on the War Memorial) was also discussed again. Mr Ward plans to visit Hawkedon on 2nd July when it is hoped both the Clerk and the Chairman will be able to meet him.

Funding from the Borough Council (grateful thanks to Cllr Peter Stevens) towards the costs of the BBQ on the Green to mark the Queen’s 90th Birthday was confirmed. (See separate report of the event held on 12th June)


The next meeting of the Parish Council will be in the autumn; date to be confirmed.
