Council receives a number of requests for various improvement actions to be taken in and around the village. Some can be satisfied but, in many cases, it does not have a ‘power’ to act with authority; particularly over private matters. However, in some cases, it is obvious that some improvement is needed so Councillors may seek to address a matter on an informal/verbal basis. Should this not work, Council may then consider sending a confidential letter to a resident suggesting that some action be taken. This will only be done under a Council resolution and only under extreme situations. Some examples are: overgrowing of public footpaths, inconsiderate parking, unmaintained land adjacent to public areas and public disturbances.
