Braughing Parish Council Meeting

A special Parish Council meeting was held in the Old Boys' School on Friday evening. 

Mr H. Shepherd-Cross presided, and all the Councillors were present. The Chairman after thanking the Council for re-electing him, introduced the subject of the "Housing of the Working Classes," for which the meeting had been specially convened.

After a general discussion it was unanimously agreed that there was a great need for more cottages in the village for the labouring classes.

The Council decided to recommend the District Council to build four cottages at Braughing during the summer. It was also decided to respectfully ask the District Council to delegate their power to the Parish Council, as it was thought their local knowledge would be of great assistance in the matter.

This closed the proceedings.
