Village Maintenance/Improvements

 

 

 

  1. Village Sign – the Clerk will chase up our grant application for this project. Mrs Gee has spoken to Mr R Spencer, after we wrote to him to ask for a donation towards this project Mr Spencer was interested and asked for more details to be sent to him, which Mrs Gee will do.
  2. Playground – Mr Conroy has started checking the area daily, mowing the grass and doing general repairs. The plants at the bottom of the steps near school need watering and it was agreed that the Clerk would ask Mr Conroy to do this as well.
  3. Bridlepath – The Clerk will write to Jenny Romero, Rights of Way Officer for an update on the footpaths around Lambley. Mrs Gee asked if the footpath that runs behind the bungalows on Grange Close could be reported, as it is very muddy and gets very wet most of the year. The Clerk will do this.
  4. Phone Box – The contract has been looked at by the Chair and Mr Starr and will now be signed and returned.
  5. Highways – The area opposite Wood Farm has a number of vehicles being parked on this area. New reflective bollards need putting up.  The hedge on Park Lane near the Folly needs cutting back and the Clerk will report these items
  6. Playing Field –The Parish Council have now registered this land it is now their responsibility. The Chair will meet up with the Head Teacher at Lambley in September. The Lambley Cricket Club will be contacted for their ideas. Also the Clerk will get out old paperwork from quotes obtained about a year ago. Drawings and a specification need to be done next.
  7. General Maintenance – The Clerk asked for the bench on Green Lane to be strimmed around as it is too long and walkers cannot sit on it. Also, the area of grass next to the Woodlark at the bottom of Orchard Rise needs cutting also.
