c) Car Park Discussion lead by Mike re Mr Kinch the Property developer of the “Chantry” had tried to get approval of all neighbours to fund a joint input to funding an improved access road, This was prompted by Neighbour Dave Young (Conifer Cottage) who had been approached in person by Mr Kinch. Mike had spoken to the Mr Robinson (City Estates) who is our landlord liaison and there was as yet no planning outlined and it was unlikely with current budget constraints that the council would be assisting with any funding.
