RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL.

The Ministry of Health stated in a letter that they had considered Mr. Goff’s appeal against the demolition of “Ivy House” and cottage and had decided to demolish “Ivy House,” Old Stratford, but not the cottage, as it was not a dwelling-house. They also stated that Mr. Goff should pay half the expense of the inquiry and the Council the remainder.

RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL.

The Clerk read a letter from the Northants County Council in which they stated that the purchase by them of Ivy House, Old Stratford, had been completed and they anticipated that the proposals submitted for the road improvement at the cross-road would be carried out. The Chairman remarked that the house had now been pulled down and he believed the railings now marked the boundary of the position which will be used in widening the road.
