Tucked away on the Agendas/Meetings pages of the Angmering Parish Council website is the Agenda for an Extraordinary Meeting of the Full Parish Council this coming Friday (10 January) which is to be held in the King Suite of the Village Hall at 7.30pm.
Such is the serious nature of the accusations being made by fellow councillors, that the Agenda has been reproduced on the AVL News page. I'm sure that Angmering residents will also wish to hear the answers being given by the pillars of our community. Parishioners may attend this meeting and also ask questions at the appropriate agenda item.
I suppose it is understandable why the controlling members of the PC do not want to advertise this Extraordinary Meeting by including it as a news item on their Home page. However, it is a matter of transparency - a term that they still do not appear to understand. |

| A meeting without any supporting documents? If that's the case, it will probably be a first! |

My previous postings appear to have had some effect. APC have today included Friday's Extraordinary Meeting on their Home page and included a link to the supporting documents for the meeting which is:
www.angmeringparishcouncil.gov.uk/documentHandler.cfm?dld=1383&pflag=docm93jijm4n1383
Within the supporting documents is the ASRA correspondence and, more interestingly, the Master Plan prepared for the developers for all the sites east of Roundstone Lane.
Also within the documents is an UNDATED and UNSIGNED paper stating meetings that have been attended. There is also an email from Parish Councillor Julia Graham to the Parish Clerk, Rob Martin, in which she states:
quote:
I take exception to your inelegant inference that in your opinion councillors are not to be trusted - the insult aside, it is not within your gift to make judgement.
Cllr Graham, one of the six councillors who has call for this Friday's Extraordinary Meeting, was responding to an email from the Parish Clerk.
Mr Martin has suggested that councillors are leaking information which is finding its way onto "Angmering Village Life". Mr Martin continually tries to undermine Angmering Village Life even though he has been told by myself on numerous occasions that AVL is a serious information website. What he should have stated was the "Angmering Forums" which are a separate entity from AVL. If Mr Martin is not bright enough to understand the difference, or to remember our previous conversations,then perhaps he is the wrong person to be our Parish Clerk! I await an apology.

| Perhaps you'll get the same apology he gave Julia. :-) |

With regard to Item 9 on the Agenda, does anyone know if there are any minutes of the March 2013 meeting regarding the Community Land Trust?
I have a list of questions: ie. who attended, chaired, appointed officers and Directors, took decisions about the form of the Trust, why is it a company and not a charitable trust (which is far more strictly regulated and prevents any issues of officer remuneration or the legal or financial liability of members)
The Agenda item is to consider Parish Councillor involvement and, having received a letter from a Councillor about interest in the CLT, I'm unable to see hoe there can not be close, if not directing, involvement, particularly since a grant for admin & set-up is minuted in APC documents.? |

Thanks Neil. So, unpublished (I can't find anything online other than that the APC minutes.), anonymous except for the Parish Councillor who is 'Interim Company secretary'; self-appointed and making decisions about legal status etc that should surely not be made without full disclosure and explanation to the residents of Angmering. Is this another case of "we know better than you"?
