One Parishioner raised concern about the acceptance of a lease on land, the Clerk assured the meeting that no action would be taken without legal advice. Another parishioner raised concerns about the lack of a safety barrier on the skate park. It is planned to erect a barrier on top of the bank at the end of the park to stop bike riders coming over the top so that the fence that had been cut down by the users could be repaired. The hedges had now been cut inside the recreation ground, but as they had been cut severely this has allowed two holes to be made onto the road and the users would be asked to stop using this and the holes would be made good.
