One parishioner said she had never seen the parish looking such a mess.
‘I’m referring to the verges and the terrible weeds,’ she said.
She asked if householders and landowners could not be responsible for the areas outside their own properties, and that those not able to do so could be helped by parish volunteers.
Another resident suggested that people serving community service orders should be employed to do the work, as happened in other parishes.
Mr Langmead said he would take the suggestion back to the douzaine to be discussed at its next meeting. As well as agreeing the parish and church remede, the meeting also saw three new douzeniers elected – Colin Dodd and Nicholas Moss for four-year terms and Richard Ashplant for one of two years.
Also on the agenda was the conversion of the upstairs of the douzaine room into a unit of accommodation, which had been agreed at a previous meeting.
Mr Langmead said this had now been put on hold as it was not currently financially viable, but the parish had renewed the permission and may revisit it at a later date.
