The Gorse Fox attended the Annual Meeting of the Parish... this was sort of like the AGM of a company, a party conference, or the Cup Final - but for the Parish Council.
Sitting at the cutting edge of government like this is akin to snowboarding down a black run. The excitement is palpable. We had only booked a small venue for the meeting and were in danger of being overrun by the single member of the Parish who attended. The proceedings went very much to form with several major issues being tabled:
- Siting of dogbins (episode 37)
- Cleaning of culverts
- Replacement of bollards
- etc.
However, there was one issue that really was important - the erosion of sand from our beach. This has continued and in many places the beach is scoured down to the underlying bedrock. Meanwhile, 7 miles off the coast dredgers are extracting millions of tons of sand and gravel and the fear is that this is creating a void that is being filled by our beach.
