August 2026 Minutes (EOM)
Record of the Extraordinary Dunston Parish Council Meeting - Monday 17th Aug 2026
Present: Cllrs McLuckie, Armstrong, Craig, Harding, Lamyman, Pellew, Phillipson and Treece. Approximately 35 members of the public.
This meeting was convened as a consultation exercise where all parishioners would be given the opportunity to address the parish council regarding the plan to develop the cemetery which had been adopted at the meeting on 13th July.
No minutes were taken as no council business was undertaken.
From the published agenda the following transpired:
Councillor McLuckie explained in detail what the proposed project’s aims were, why they were necessary, and that the first details had been passed by a majority of councillors at a Parish Council (PC) meeting with no members of the public present.
Importantly that there was a proposal to remove a line of trees & bushes, but additional planting of trees and plants would exceed this number.
A number of members of the public voiced their views and asked further questions, and the councillors agreed to take into consideration all their points when the project was reviewed at the next PC meeting.
The next routine meeting of the Dunston Parish Council will take place on Monday 14th September in the Village Hall.
