Recycle Bins: Clerk has contacted Mrs.White, KDC, to ascertain the location of the bins in Wroughton. They are situated opposite the Parish Council buildings.

REPORTS FROM COMMITTEES
Village Community Shop/Post Office: Jim Scott has taken on the role of Project Manager on the committee. The public meeting held at the village school was well attended. Unanimous decision to proceed with the project. Charles Bartholomew, Chairman and Managing Director of Wadworth in conjunction with Matthew and Peta, have given the committee permission to locate a portakabin on a site at the pub for a temporary village shop. The council agreed to initiate the planning application
