FUNTINGTON PARISH NEWSLETTER JULY 2010
NUMBER 265
PARISH WAR MEMORIAL Full details are in the Church Magazine, however the Parish Council are fully supportive of the Appeal and it is hoped that Parishioners rally to support this worthy cause in time for this year’s Remembrance Service.
SOUTH DOWNS NATIONAL PARK Parish Councils have been consulted regarding Planning Applications, it is expected that there could be 4000 per year four times the New Forest Park Authority. There are two choices, ‘traditional approach’ whereby the SDNPA provides all service ie ‘ in – house option’., or delegate some planning work to the existing authorities ie CDC, the ‘delegation option’. The PC voted for option 2.
LOCAL MAYOR The PC were also asked to consider two options for a Mayor. Currently the Leader (mayor) of the Council an elected Councillor is voted on yearly by Council Members, the options were to retain this system or for electors to propose and vote for a person who would be mayor for 4 years. The PC voted for the status quo.
GREENING CAMPAIGN A meeting was held at the Old Chapel, and a number of people agreed to form a steering group to try and obtain support from the Parish.
