The Wellness. Resort Development (From minutes 14 December 2020 meeting) Council shared information about the Wellness Resort project. The general concerns were with the current road structures being able to accommodate resort users traffic levels. Concerns were also expressed about the noise levels, once the site was fully operational, if some restriction on the type of equioment being used on the water was not set out in planning conditions. It was also felt that a full ecology report should be undertaken as part of the planning process. As current meetings were as part of the consultation process and this was being co-ordinated by the Leziate and Ashwicken Parish Council we should hold back full comments entil the planning application was issued.

Consideration of Precept for 2021/2022 I have read all of the e-mails relating to this subject and you have come up with the following conclusions as a majority decision. Whilst some views were conditional on the decisions as to what projects should be put into firm consideration during the next year, they were resolved by the following. Street Lighting down Common Road was considered not practical on a cost basis at this time. TROD for the stretch of Common Road from the A47 to where the tree cover ends (Approx 1/2 mile) to be put to NCC Highways for agreement. Two Dog Waste Bins to be installed (subject to approval by BC) on Common Road and at the top end of Church Lane. No clear view on increasing the Speed Signs from one to two. Play area equipment, although no clear amount of money agreed, the majority felt that provision for a donation should be made General view is that Churchyard Maintenance Grant should be maintained. As a result of this the general opinion was to hold the Precept at last years value of £12,500. Risk Assessment Next risk assessment will be for reporting in March 2021
