Chairman’s report
We were unable to have an open public Annual Meeting in 2020 and had to resort to a Zoom meeting for Councillors only. So this is a normal meeting in which Councillors attend with a simultaneous a Zoom meeting for anyone else to have a virtual presence.
We have had three vacancies on the Council this year, two from Matterdale and one from Watermillock. Most of you will know that MPC is the combination of Watermillock and Matterdale PCs and although there is no compulsion, we have always kept an equal number from each of Watermillock and Matterdale. We were therefore pleased to welcome Emma Bray and David Harrison from Matterdale and Claire Beaumont from Watermillock to be co-opted to the Council.
We have been particularly grateful to our Clerk, David Brown, for keeping up to date with the regulations and managing the situation. In particular the complicated logistics of hosting Zoom meetings and latterly with hybrid meetings with some councillors present whilst socially distant and others attending through Zoom. David is involved in all aspects of the Council’s work. He keeps us right in all matters and guides us expertly. Most of us wonder how we could possibly manage without his expertise and endeavour.
Councillors are also Trustees of the Matterdale School Foundation, chaired by William McAlpine. The working party dealing with MSF and the proposed plans to create an Educational and Recreation Hall in Matterdale has done an extraordinary amount of work on these matters, for which we are all extremely grateful.
I would like to thank all the Councillors for the amount of work they have done in relation to all the other responsibilities which are part of the functioning of the Council. This year there have been a significant number of planning applications which have required more than the usual amount of work and have involved considerable debate and site meetings.
Finally, thanks also to those of you have been involved in other initiatives and activities in Matterdale and the whole Ullswater valley. These have not necessarily been as representatives of MPC but are nevertheless important to keep the Council in touch with what is going on and enables us, where necessary, to have informed opinion in any decisions.
