Following advice from the Charity Commission and requests
from the public, the Memorial Ground Trust, the Village
Hall Committee and the Parish Council are to have a
meeting to see if a way forward can be found so that a
new village hall could be sited on the Memorial Ground.
If general agreement can be reached in the village,

Enforcement have stopped the construction of an
unauthorised building at Harestock and thanked the Parish
Council for notifying them about it. Camper van is still

Environment

impassable; to be reported to the owner of the land. The

regarding reports of drug taking. Any members of the

calls.
Planning
There has been a planning application to convert
redundant farm buildings on Miles Lane at New Manor Farm

the road and should have a condition attached to prevent
possible use for business in the future.

Following a comment that Somerset have trained villagers

traffic speeds, PC Day to be asked if this is possible in
Whiteparish.

step by the end of the year. If there is to be a public
enquiry, it will be in autumn 2002. The PC have proposed
the exclusion of Whiteparish from the National Park, as
have SDC.

the shop, it was emphasised that there are no such plans.
