March 28th 1895
A meeting of the parish Council was held this day at seven o'clock p m.
To consider applications for Allotments. To take steps in conjunction with the
lord of the Manor to prevent the depositing of rubbish and offensive matter on
the foreshore.
Present. Messrs. Bellow, J Easterbrook, H.A. Easterbrook, Fulton, Joslin, Lock,
Nation.
The minutes of the last meeting having been read and approved the Chairman asked
if there were any applications for allotments but no applications were received.
A letter was read from Mr L.A. Christie, the Lord of the Manor, suggesting that
the nuisance caused by depositing rubbish on the foreshore might be put a stop
to if he erected two Notice Boards stating that offenders would be prosecuted.
It was moved by Mr Fulton that a letter be written to Mr Christie's suggestion
stating that the Council will pledge themselves to assist him all they can in
abating the nuisance on the foreshore and they venture to hope in the event of
their reporting anyone depositing matter, seconded by Mr Joslin and carried
unanimously.
The following letter was received from Major Winter to the president of the
Instow Parish Council.
"Sea View, Instow
March 28th 1895
Sir,
As in all probability at an early date next month the three summer seats given
by the parish last year will be put up again on the parade in the same places. I
would beg to bring before your notice together with the Parish Council - that
immediately after the seats were fixed up last year they were maliciously torn
abroad and remained so, in a disgraceful state for some considerable time. I
personally object to the one which was placed in front of "Sea View" (a house I
have occupied for over 10 years)) being put there again and would venture to
suggest that might all be placed in more suitable positions than in front of
houses! I would never have subscribed towards their being put up had I thought
they were going to be any annoyance. I remain
Yours faithfully
George Winter, Major"
Moved by Mr Fulton & seconded by Mr W.A. Easterbrook that the Clerk acknowledge
Major Winter's letter and that the matter be deferred for the present.
Moved by Mr Nation & seconded by Mr Joslin that the Clerk be enrolled a member
of the Parish & Rural District Association for one year and that cost be born by
the Council. Carried unanimously.
