PARISH ITEMS –

The Playing Field Committee asked had asked the Banks Charity to help pay for the new bark for the play park. The Banks Charity were unsure how they could help, they have since had a meeting to discuss the rules of the Banks Charity and therefore were unable to give an answer to the Playing Field Committee. As the bark is urgently required the Playing Field Committee wish to ask Parish Council if they could pay for the bark. The councillors discussed this and have agreed that we will pay up to £800 for the bark. Proposed by DJ Seconded by DR

The lorry’s using School Lane has been very disrespectful to residents that have stopped them to ask them to use an alternative route through the village as School Lane is unsuitable for HGV’s – Clerk may know who these are will ask to see is alternative route can be used.

There being no other business the chairman closed the meeting at 8.10pm
