PARISH COUNCIL CHAIRMAN'S REPORT - JANURAY 2010
The Parish council has put the community hall up for sale with Abbotts Countrywide of Wroxham.
This will be by sealed bids to be opened on the 31st March 2010, an independent valuation has been undertaken so we have a guideline as to whether the resulting bids are realistic and the best possible price has been obtained.
If you or someone you know is interested in putting in a bid please deal with the agents directly on 01603 783838.

The Hickling Playing Field or Recreation Ground Charity 270199, i.e the recreation ground, now
has its business conducted separately from parish council business. The charity has its own
bank account and meetings are held after the parish council meetings, as parish councillors
as a ‘corporate body’ are trustees of the charity.
The parish council minutes will exclude any
business regarding the recreation ground as the charity will have its own agenda/minutes etc. The details of the charity can be looked up on the Charity Commissions website.

Our PCSO L Collyer attended the January parish council meeting, on behalf of our own PCSO
Jeannette Hawes, and gave an update on the recent PCSO surgery in the community hall.
They had several visitors with the main concern being speeding, so they are looking into getting more officers to carry out speed checks along Heath Road/Staithe Road.
Also whether anyone is interested in volunteering for the Community Speed Watch scheme, if so please contact the Clerk or Jeannette direct, contact no’s below.

Hickling is still on the SNT KINS Priority list for extra patrols around the village.

Next Parish Council meeting: 1st February at 7.15pm in the Community Hall
All parishioners are welcome to attend.
Viv Tallowin, Chairman..
