      3. The Hearse House (this was subsequently sold to Mr E Wilkinson in 1956 and the conveyance is endorsed with this change).

  1. Comment

It is proposed that YLCA advice is sought to where these documents should be held eg in filing cabinet with the Clerk, at the bank, with a Solicitor etc. As the conveyances from 1926 have not be registered with the Land Registry it is proposed that the advice of YLCA is sought on whether the Council should proceed to register these properties and how this would be transacted.
