CPC are pleased to report that the APM on 27 April was much appreciated by the attendees and we were grateful for their applause at the conclusion. The following discussion over a glass of wine was very useful and, in particular, we were able to cover issues such as the lack of burial space and to advise on the process of taking this sensitive and emotional issue forward.
The choice of date for the meeting was dictated by the availability of accommodation, the need to follow the Annual Audit and to precede the local elections. Further, we were faced this year by the confluence of back to back bank holidays, not to mention a Royal wedding. Due to that well known law, these events placed the APM at a most
inappropriate time for attendance at the meeting. So that those of you who missed the meeting can have the benefit of what was presented, a copy of the full presentation has been placed on the web site, www.chipperfield.org.uk (click on the link to the Parish Council) including a very interesting presentation from our guest speaker, our former Borough and current County Councillor, Richard Roberts. Please have a read and raise any issues which require clarification with the Clerk, Mrs J Deacon, 01923
263310 and we will do our best to respond.
Cllr Mike Bradshaw, Chairman
