Appointment of Three Trustees to the Salthouse Heath Trust.
 
This meeting was called to nominate three persons to serve on the committee of Salthouse Heath  Trustees. These shall be the Nominative Trustees and serve for a period of three years .
 
After discussion it was proposed by Cllr. Dawson that Mr. C. Large, Mr. C. Elsden and Mr N Fetherstone should be appointed to continue to serve as the Nominative Trustees for a period of three years.
This proposal was seconded by Cllr. M. Turville-Petre and carried.
 
The Parish Council request that the current vacancy for a co-opted trustee is not filled immediately to allow for suitable candidates to be identified.
 
The councillors also noted that, up to the present date, no formal constitution had been available.

It was felt that a constitution was necessary for the benefit of the Heath Trustees , the Parish Council and the Village in general.

The Parish Council agreed that, if it would be of any help, they would instruct the clerk
(J Stibbons) to assist the Heath Trustees in the formation of a constitution.
 
It was also noted that the notice advertising the public meeting on 26th February was merely to try and obtain further support for the Heath Trustees from the community in any way it was required, especially in administration.
​
The leaflet would be amended to reflect this better.
 
There being no further business the chairman closed the meeting at 8.16pm.

4. Matters arising from the minutes  None.
 
5. Reports From Police, District and County Councillors
Dist. Cllr. D. Young.
A motion was passed at the December meeting of NNDC that the Council considers setting aside a sum of £200,000 to go to bolster the Police budget and that this money is used to provide a number of PCSO’s specifically for the North Norfolk District.           
 
The plans for a new Splash facility at Sheringham are now ready to move forward. The estimated cost is £10.7m of which £0.75m would be derived from a sale of land for a hotel, £1m would be a grant from Sport England and the balance would come from Capital Reserves and borrowing.  There will be a new 10 year management contract, to include the North Walsham and Fakenham facilities, which overall should result in significant savings over the current arrangements.
 
Also agreed were new fees and charges, some of which rise by around 3% but car parking remains unchanged.  From the next financial year the 5% discount on council tax for second homes will be abolished. 
 
It seems to be increasingly likely that the cable route from the proposed Hornsea 3 windfarm would start at Muckleburgh and go inland just to the east of The Street in Kelling.   The application to the Secretary of State will not be submitted until the second quarter of 2018 and if approved, work would not start for several years.
 
Over the New Year a dog died shortly after eating a dead fish washed up on Cley beach.   This is being investigated by Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science and until their investigation is complete, all dog owners are advised to keep dogs well away from items washed up on beaches in the area.
 
6. Salthouse Heath.  It was decided to postpone the nomination of Trustees to the Salthouse Heath committee until the Trustees and the general public could attend a public meeting to be held on Saturday 24th February at 6pm where all opinions could be heared.
