2          Matters Arising

 

Village Green Surface Repairs  Some further work needs to be carried out to the section of the green that was repaired during the autumn of last year.  Gail Woodhouse reported that the metal stakes that had been erected last year to protect the green have been removed.  The edge of the green needs to be built up to ensure that access to the village green is confined to just one area to prevent further damage. 

 

Bus Stop (provision of a ramp for disabled access)  The Chairman felt that the provision of a raised bus stop ramp to accommodate disabled bus users needed to be actioned.  S Beal agreed to obtain the materials, the Councillors will provide the voluntary labour.
