Kingsmead Quarry - What Horton Parish Council knew from April 2011

What really disturbs me is that responsible individuals who new that something was amiss in April 2011 apparently chose to ignore the issues and just passed the problem to the RBWM - who in turn passed it on to the Environment Agency.

 

Extract from Horton Parish Council Minutes 5/4/2011

HORTON PARISH COUNCIL

Minutes of Meeting of the Council

held in Champney Hall at 7.30 pm on Tuesday 5th April 2011

Present: Councillor D. Davies (in the Chair), Mrs. F. Bovingdon, Mrs. M. Hodgson, P. Manning, C. Rayner and the Clerk.

3 members of the public were present.

 

11/058 CORRESPONDENCE

The Clerk reminded all present that the Annual Parish Meeting would be held at 7.30 pm

on Tuesday 12th April 2011.

The Clerk reported that two communications had been received from the Horton Village

Fete Committee. One requested the use of the recreation ground for the fete which is

being held on Saturday 6th August 2011 which was agreed. A request for a financial

donation could not be discussed until the next meeting at which it will be a specific

agenda item.

A communication was received from residents of Datchet Road requesting that the Parish

Council take all necessary measures to have the recently constructed sludge pits on land

previously worked by Cemex, removed or filled in. The Council was asked to ascertain

if planning permission was required and, if so, at what meeting was this agreed or raised.

It was agreed that this was outside the control of the Parish Council and thus the letter

would be passed to the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead with a request that

they reply direct to the correspondent. Councillor Rayner declared an interest and took

no part in discussions.
