Re-elected

Each year the Parish Council holds an Annual Parish Meeting, and an Annual General Meeting.

The Annual Parish Meeting is for the Parish – yes, its organised by the Parish Council, but its a chance for residents to raise any parish related question, to look at (and challenge if they wish) our spending.

A small number of residents attended – and raised questions. Not on our spending, but on improving play equipment at the Recreation Ground, noise barriers (why are the travellers in Milton to get one when our residents won’t) and whether Anglian Water is doing everything it should (including upgrading pumping stations etc) to deal with “the drains”.

Good questions, we’re already working on an application for funding for the play area at the Rec, and will be following up the latter two. Whether anything will come on the subject of the noise barrier before the A14 is widened is another matter (we expect not). We’re working with others (Girton, Histon) on that – and meeting an expert in July who may be able to help.

After the APM, the AGM started with the annual election of the Chairman, and, as has happened for the last few years, I was re-elected, and Brian Ing re-elected as Vice Chairman. We will continue to serve Impington Council, and residents of Impington to the best of our ability.
