Mr Paul Stobart of The Thack public house.
· Mr Stobart came along speak to the PC after the recent Jag meeting that took place in Fairburn and to see if there had been any feedback from the meeting.
· Mr Stobart feels that if there is any vandalism etc in the village people are quick to place the blame on customers from The Thack. He stressed that if there is any proof that any incident is done from customers from the Thack he will bar them. During the Xmas and New Year period he employed Doormen and all went well. Mr Stobart as also put up signs around the pub asking his customers to be courteous to locals. He said it is very difficult to police people once they have left his pub.
· Cllr Hobman said that SMPC were representing the village about vandalism at the Jag Meeting. He also attended a further meeting where there were reps from the Police and Magistrates courts. There was no mention of the Thack. The Police carried out a survey in the village and they received 29 responses. The Police will be going to talk to some of these people in the hope of trying to sort some of the vandalism out. Cllr Hobman said that the Parish Council supported the Police in trying to eliminate the vandalism and the PC is not pointing the finger at anyone but it needs to be sorted.
· Cllr Jackson reported that she had people pressing her buzzers at 1.40am before Christmas; she didn't report it but put it down to high spirits.
· Cllr Hobman thanked Mr Stobart for coming along to the meeting.
