RENOVATION BILL: The parish council's boardroom needs a minimum of £8,000 of repairs.
Councillor Doris Jones said she wanted to defer a decision until the village discovers whether it qualifies for a grant through the parish plan. But Councillor Mike McBride said the building was deteriorating rapidly. He offered to examine a building survey and report back.
NEW COUNCILLORS: Councillor Brian Jones, chairman, welcomed new members Bill Oliver, Steve York, Jeff Quick and Martin Walker.
PARISH PLAN: Half a dozen replies have come in from the parish plan questionnaires. Dog fouling, the play area and traffic in the village square were seen as problems. The community newsletter and the friendliness of the village were good points.
AIRCRAFT NOISE: People in Church Lane have complained about light aircraft noise from the aero clubs at Teesside airport. Councillor Gordon Sirrell volunteered to question residents and raise the matter at the next meeting of the Teesside airport consultative committee.
