White Colne Parish Council 
Hi, I know that the Corona-19 lock-down has put pressure on all of us including the suspension of public meetings of the Parish Council. I understand that the draft minutes of this meeting have probably been prepared and it would aid transparency if they could be published before we all forget what was said. Many thanks John
