Shalfleet Parish Council Meeting last Wednesday 12th March - brief update on The Ashlar and Yarmouth Surgery

The Ashlar:  Stuart Hutchinson (Ward Councillor) reported that the Planning Application has not appeared on the schedule for the next IWC Planning Meeting on 25th March so at the earliest it will happen the following month.  If you had diaried that Planning Meeting just for that item, you can scrub it.  There is still a lot of correspondence and lobbying going on.  If we hear anything I will update you on the blog.

Yarmouth Surgery:  The person now responsible from NHS England, Melanie Smoker, can be contacted also by email at melanie.smoker1@nhs.net  Melanie is Contracts Manager (Primary Care) for quite a wide area.  This week she has been down in Dorset, though she is based in Southampton and also covers Hampshire.  It was suggested by the Parish Council that folk might like to petition Melanie.  I'm not sure that's going to do much more than clog her inbox at the moment.  The next milestone is March 28th when the surgery is due to close.  As you no doubt are aware, Dr Walker said it's not impossible that extra cover could be found before the closure -- not cover from the practice, it's out of the practice's hands -- but NHS England.  Don't forget that by law there has to be consultation before this surgery can be closed for more than six months so there will be plenty of time to comment.

There were two private planning applications. 
Cranleigh, Ningwood Hill -- Parish Council had some fairly minor suggestions after reading out a letter from a neighbour.  No doubt the Clerk will furnish you with the exact wording on request
Orchard Croft, Main Road, Wellow -- Parish Council had no objections.
