Cllr Hudson explained that it is currently a busy time as the Town Deal in relation to Burton Library and the Market Hall was rejected with 19 votes to 20. The new proposal is for the library  to stay where it is but will be moved to one floor only with offices on the second floor. ESBC will be paying for the library to be renovated on the outside in line with the modernisation for the waterfront project. From this the Market Hall to be removed from the Town Deal altogether; discussions will be undertaken as to what this will then become within the corporate plan.

A new meeting is now set to allow Cllrs to vote for a new leader of the council after his recent resignation. This meeting will also set the upcoming budget and elect a new mayor.  

Lastly, Cllr Hudson mentioned the consultation period for the Derbyshire Minerals Local Plan and raised concern alongside Cllr Hendon in relation to heavy goods vehicles and traffic rerouting vehicles on the A515

A pre-meeting with Cllr White could not be arranged but a meeting is in the diary for 28th March in order to discuss the changing speed limits within the village. Cllr White pledged full support for the changing of the speed limits and talks in relation to the budget are still ongoing with Staffordshire County Council and another Parish Council. The outcome of this meeting will hopefully finalise the breakdown of costs and establish how the contributions to the cost will be split.
