Minutes APM 2025
MINUTES of the ANNUAL PARISH MEETING of Hougham Parish Council held at Hougham and Marston Village Hall at 7 pm on Thursday 1st May 2025.
Present: Cllrs John Wright, Joanna Wright, Jane Forbes, Peter Baker and Pam McAllister.
There were no members of the public present.
Minutes of the APM held on 1st May 2024 were read, approved and signed.
Cllr John Wright reported that we had a new solar speed camera which is working very well. We had the planning application for The Lodge as a childrens’ home but there are no children in residence as yet. The litter pick had a good turn out – thanks to all who helped. Also thanks to Cllr McAllister’s husband Andy for his upkeep of the Pinfold.
Clerk gave a financial report as follows:
The actual spend over budget was £1700 higher but this was primarily due to the purchase of the new SID. We increased the precept for 2025-6 marginally but not enough to have too much effect on the Council Tax payments.
There were no presentations from local organisations and no parishioners present to ask questions.
Meeting closed at 7.04 pm.
