Minting and Gautby Parish Council - Home page

The Minting Classic Motor Show

held on September 8th 2024 attracted over 170 cars, tractors, motorbikes and static engines.  A dull start turned into a sunny afternoon, with the many visitors admiring the immaculately kept vehicles and browsing the stalls selling everything from motor accessories to locally donated cakes.  £2,200 was raised for St Barnabas Hospice, well ahead of last year's total.  Committee chairman Ken Smith thanked all those who had contributed to a very successful day.

Flood prevention 

 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. assure us that they are planning major works to the 4th culvert off Grundy's Lane.

New councillors welcomed.

At our July 2024 meeting we welcomed two new co-opted members, Wendy Hughes and Alison Cadman.  The parish council is now up to full strength with 8 members.
