We have Lift OFF

Well somebody did tell them that the July 30th minutes of the parish council were lacking in content and we now have the complete document mysteriously worded of course to keep us in the dark as to the actual conversations.  We also don't have to use our zoom button to read, which makes a pleasant change.

We still don't know when Network Rail are coming back to complete the bodged first attempt of the railway bridges.  Mind you an improvement to the railway crossings will be welcome, for those of us stuck at Haxey Gate for hours (feels like) when the train must surely be still somewhere near Gainsborough.

The wriggling starts around the Misterton Centre, half of them don't want it I understand, because it was linked to previous parish council members.  What they really want to do is duck out at the first opportunity and spend on the old library.  At least some members have budgetary concerns, but not enough it would seem since they are to make an offer for the site and the field at the rear in line with the valuation.  However you have to remember that this was July and things have moved on a bit since then, namely interest from other parties, hence the lot going up for auction.

While I've no objection to land purchase, if only to stop further building, buying the old library site is fraught with trouble and expense, more than we can afford, not to mention the additional costs of  demolition and removal of asbestos.  Then what, a full rebuild and at what cost to current and future Misterton residents. West Stockwith has a small village hall, but then it has nothing else, similar to other villages which have nothing but their village hall.  Misterton has an abundance of buildings that can be used and that's the problem.  Mind you if only 40 odd people turn up for an important meeting you could stuff them into the Church Hall.

Well we could rabbit about this for ever, but lets wait for more up to date developments.

Somebody tries to make a shilling with a business in Misterton, which is an agricultural area and they stab them in the back.  Planning permission wanted on the ground behind the Social Club agreed, then some bugger throws his oar in.  What is wrong with them.  They object to one caravan, needed to be on site to tend animals, and a lot of them.  Something wrong there, very wrong.
