Correspondence. Best kept village competition. Members discussed the entry format for the competition together with ways of possibly fragmenting areas of the village in order to delegate responsibility to voluntary individuals, who would then ensure that the hoped for standards be maintained.

(Vandal Resistant) and when available, to submit an application to Braintree District Council for consideration in the 2006 Rural Funding program. 1014. Planning Applications. Application No 06/00063/COU Change of use for redundant pumping station. The chairman read a letter to the meeting, received from Mr & Mrs R. Levett, 1 Drawell Cottages, Hedingham Road, Great Yeldham, Halstead. Essex. C09 4HS requesting the support of the Parish Council in objecting to the application. Members felt that as the area was already recognised in planning terms as an industrial area with storage permission, little could be done by objecting to a policy already in existence. However, members felt that a request to limit activity to sociable working hours, 7.30 am. - 6 pm. weekdays and 8.30 am-12 pm on Saturdays only should be requested for this application. Application 05/02572/Ful Bedroom extension at 10 Church Field. Great Yeldham. No objections were recorded from members. 1015. Forward Funding for Sports Ground. A request from the Sports ground Committee for financial help in meeting the emergency repairs to the Sports Ground Pavilions hot water boiler replacement, by way of bringing forward a maximum amount of £2,000.00, (subject to quotations to be received), from the 2006 precept allocation of £8,100.00, was considered by members. It was proposed by Mrs McNeill and seconded by Mr Sargeant that as the money had already been allocated in the 2006 precept to the Sports Ground Committee the money could justifiably be brought forward. With the exception of Mr Cumaranatunge who thought that the committee should raise the required money by other means, members agreed with the proposal. 1016 Accounts for payment. Accounts for payment were considered by members and approved for payment. The meeting closed at 2055hrs.
