Mr Miners noticed that at the Ilsington play area was covered badly in weeds, although we intend to refurbish this area it needs to be maintained in the meantime.  Clerk gave update of funding at the present time.

A discussion was held about ongoing maintenance and it was noted that in the past this has been a councillor’s role.  The Chairman suggested that a working party including councillors and representatives from the football, bowls and tennis club should meet and remove the weeds on Saturday 1st August at 10am.  Mrs Smith offered to provide the refreshments. 

 

Mr Bardell noted that in the past we have requested the tree to be trimmed at Drumbridges to give better visibility, however this has not happened and was doubtful if it ever would.

 

09/95  PUBLIC FORUM

Parishioners have reported receiving chipped windscreens from debris left on the highway at the Gravel store near Drumbridges, it was suggested that there should be warning signs – clerk will write to highways.

Mr D Smith has written to report water and mud on the road closed to Bagtor and the buddle holes have not being cleared. 

 

09/96  Business brought forward by the Chairman.

Highways, buddle holes and drainage.  Chairman talked to lenghtman about these.  He is working in the area at the present time but doesn’t know where the buddle holes are and have not been able to clear them. The Chairman has spoken to the highways supervisor and reminded him of the parish maps which we mark areas for attention, Highways are unaware of the whereabouts of the map now.  The small lake of rain water and mud was on the road close to Bagtor caused by the buddle holes being blocked – as reported in Mr Smiths letter.

The new lenghtsman do not know where the buddle holes are!  There are lots of areas now in the parish which have similar problems the issue is getting bigger.

It was agreed to devise a new map copy it and give a copies to the highways department and Mr Barker.
