 Sadly, inflation has forced us to increase the Parish Precept [ our part of your Council Tax] by 5.2% to £6,100 for 2025, still less than the £7000 of five years ago.  We need to restore our financial reserves to finance the work needed to increase water flow through the culvert leading to The Green in Minting, for which we are currently in negotiations. We welcome the work done by Witham 3rd IDB to improve the beck flowing between two properties in Church Lane, and LCC Highways Dept. have installed an additional pipe in the 4th culvert, which will increase the water flow considerably.

New councillors welcomed.

At our July 2024 meeting we welcomed two new co-opted members, Wendy Hughes and Alison Cadman. Sadly we recently accepted the resignation of Chris Bruntlett  who made a very active contribution  during his time on the PC, but is now leaving the village.   His place has been filled by Jack Saville, who was co-opted at our May 2025 meeting.

Our defibrillators have moved 

The Minting defibrillator is now located by the Grundy's Lane side door of Minting village hall, and the Gautby defibrillator is now in the telephone kiosk.

Top minting defibrillator.

The new defibrillator for Top Minting is now installed in the green cabinet on the gatepost of 'Whitegates'.
