The Parish Council are so concerned that this was approved that members asked that the clerk write to Wiltshire Council Planning Office to express their concern. Cllr Milton had said she would call this application in as there where so many objections to it. But no notice was given to the P.C. of this.
d) Access to the rear of the houses in the High Street via the Sportsfield were discussed. It was noted that the Sportsfield has recently been used as a means of access for delivery of marquees, and for the dumping of logs. It would have been nice for the person dealing with this to have at least asked the permission of the Avebury Sportsfield Association or the Parish Council before using. The Parish Council wish to make it quite clear that no access to the rear of the High Street houses will be given during the winter months.
9. CHAIRMANS ACTIONS/INFORMATION.
a) The Chairman commented on recent Avebury Sacred Sites Forum (ASSF ) which was attended by herself and the clerk. One night less camping has been achieved this year with the agreement of the ASSF making it 17 nights camping for this year. It was stated that drumming was a nuisance to not only residents but to many of the Pagans themselves. There does seem to be some animosity following the news that there is nowhere else to camp after the decision not to use Kennett Avenue.
There was a Social Centre meeting attended by the Chairman who is the representative of the P.C. on that committee. The Social Centre is in a good position financially. There were some concerns over the ambience of the Ladies toilet which, it was stated, needed upgrading.
The TVM meeting was attended by the Chairman. It was noted that the N.T. do not have the manpower to clear the High Street of litter on a regular basis and the cost of the three bins provided by W.C. , free, if the litter is picked will cost the N.T. about £3000.00 per annum. Members were concerned that, following the approval of the Coach House application, litter will become a problem in the High Street.
Area Board Meeting attended by clerk and Chairman. Although there will be the removal of some of the speed limit camera’s, speed watch will continue. There was a lot of interest in the film evenings at St. Johns School, but concern about the transport situation for youngsters to attend. Negotiations are ongoing to try to get the mini-bus at a lower rate as both drivers and attendants are available. There is to be a 20 mile walk around the area starting in Avebury. P.C. asked where were the cars are supposed to park as with the current charge of £5 per day in the N.T car park many people are using the High Street as alternative parking. The answer given was that it was hoped that many walkers would come by bus before setting off on this walk. This has not been not been proved to be very feasible in the past but will be monitored carefully by the Parish |Council.
10. CORRESPONDENCE.
a) “Money for sport” leaflets have been received and are placed in the Social Centre

The clerks position will be advertised in the local press at a date to be decided.
11. LOCAL AFFAIRS.
a) It is noticed that the Coronation Tree in the Sportsfield needs crown lifting. Three estimates will be asked for before a decision is made as to who should do the work.
b) The Post Office manager has asked one of the cllrs to raise the problem of parking in the car park adjacent to the Post \Office. He was unable to park his car in the car park recently and although he has a permit it proved very difficult to park. A solution would be to make one parking place available to him at all times. Complaints have also been received from members of the Public who are unable to park in the car park, despite having permits. All complainants have noted that many in the car park have no permits and are not local.
c) Complaints have been made regarding the hedge in the car park which has overgrown to such a degree that it is almost impossible to park along the side which adjoins Manor Farmhouse. This will all be reported to the N.T. to ask if this matter can be dealt with urgently.

f) In response to the suggestion that street lights and other lights be switched off during the night, Mrs Jane Brunning has said that she has no objection to lights being switched off during the night, this includes the lights on the roundabout at Beckhampton.

2.It must be remembered that Avebury is a World Heritage Site and a food outlet of this nature would be an over commercialisation of the High Street.
