REPORTS
Village Community Store: Sales have been down on fresh goods, not selling enough bread in the week, and they have a minimum order to meet. Looking for ideas to increase demand in the week so they can keep a midweek bread delivery. Suggested order sharing with Urchfont or Avebury shop.
PCC: Churchyard: Topple test complete – nothing toppled.
Cemetery: Need to do a site survey, map is not accurate as some plots are under trees. Cllr Butcher has looked through the Grave books, and has spotted some errors, needs help cross checking data. Cllr McDonald and Cllr Gray offered to assist. Cllr Tilley and Gay will check the plots on the map. Cllr Tilley will take a copy of the map so we have spares as well as up to date info. Check terms in the green book.
Gladys Page – came up in the topple test. Suggest stake it for now and get in touch with the owners and see if they want to repair or lay it down. She is in plot 437 [Section 4 NE R17], buried in 1978.
Village Green: All play equipment action points for Cllr Gay following ROSPA in hand. No reply from PlayQuest, Kate to phone and chase. Slide letter to go to Mick Atkinson at Robbie’s address. Action Kate Asbury
Village Hall: New outside lights being installed.
Pre-School: Successful auction raised over £500. Easter egg hunt 8th April. More numbers, and possibly opening longer hours soon.
Glebe Field & Allotments: Nothing to report. Works on trees opposite Lipgate completed and work on willow tree on entrance to the Glebe completed.
All Cannings Primary School: Signs from Xmas fair have been removed. Cllr Butcher received an email regarding the pathway between the school and playing field, need to establish who the owner is. Cllr Butcher to make inquiries. Action Cllr Butcher
Footpaths: Nothing to report. Thanks to Mr Curnick outstanding. Action Kate Asbury
PIGS – Funds not received yet.
Parish Steward – Clean up the Footpath at the top of Greenhouse Road
Speed limit:
Request for 20mph – need speeds at 26mph, 85th percentile is the speed at which 85% are driving below. Raise area board issue, put forward to Area Board transport group. They will do metro counts in the village. Must have repeater signs with a 20, which many people don’t like as it will be more signage in the village. If results from metro count come in at 26mph, do we really want the extra signage? 25% contribution required – costs around £5k, so we would need to find £1250. We need to think about appearances, flowers, clean gates, bikes like Lockeridge.
Action – request this ASAP Kate Asbury and reply to P Griffin to let him know work is in progress. Next Cat G meeting 17th May at the Fire Station and add to agenda for Annual Meeting.
