Update on
recent investigations - Mrs Papworth and Mrs Davison reported that a meeting
had been held
with John
Hussey from the Borough Council seeking advice on the proposed plans. He
considered that
any wooden
equipment should be avoided where possible as the upkeep and maintenance was
expensive.
Better to
use metal or recycled plastics. Obtain three quotes for equipment. Survey the
local community
for
comments and assess needs.(subsequently a survey showed some 30 children were
likely regular
users). A
bench type seat positioned away from the sides of the area (more centrally
placed) would be
sensible.
Lisa and
Samanda would continue to research possible avenues of funding and further
local opinions.
09 Risk
Assessment Inspection – Report on January/February 2019 Inspection – Mr Harrod provided
Council
with a comprehensive report with only the bus shelter and dog bins being
