At a briskly-run meeting today, Chilbolton Parish Council agreed amendments to their draft response to James Painter’s proposed 75-home development. As an Extraordinary Meeting of CPC, this was a “meeting held in public”, rather than a “public meeting”, nonetheless villagers were invited to have their say, after Councillors had made their decisions.
