P F F F F S F RESOLVED
William Halford gave a presentation of plans for a small dirt bike track idea for the playing field. Using the 12-meter-wide strip along the southern edge of the playing field behind the goal posts. Jumps would be modelled out of soil and designed so as other park users would not be infringed upon. The field perimeter would be unimpeded. Although the site is small, if well designed could be a great addition for local children. The design element would be paramount to address any safety issues anyone might have and would be monitored well in its early stages. Insurance cover for public liability is in place. If the project did fail the jumps are easily removed and reinstated back. CPC supported this project.
iii) Grant Requests Friends of St Stephens Church £1,200 towards maintenance of churchyard and trees and A further request of £1,500 toward installing of water and WC cubicle.
Proposal to support the maintenance of the churchyard and trees grant, however under s.137 only £694.48 could be met from CPC fund in this financial year.
