4. Highways
a. Footpaths
It was reported that the kerbstone outside the shop had been fixed. It was noted that the corner of Highstock Lane posed some safety issues due to mud/leaves made by the building work currently in progress. Also, a large contractor’s van is parked on the path outside one of the new homes, the wrong way round, posing visibility issues. Clerk to contact Highways to report.
b. Bench
The Memorial Bench has now been treated. It was stated that the bench had not been treated previously due to the extreme hot weather although the treatment liquid was available.
5. Litter Bins/Dog Waste Bins
The Clerk has previously asked the Council for further ‘Dog Waste’ Signs (Please Pick up Your Dog Litter). To place around the public footpaths. Clerk to contact Refuse to see who is responsible for emptying the bins.
Clerk to chase this as no response to date.
It had been suggested by a member of the public that further bins were needed. Councillor James stated that the village already had 10 bins within the village and that the problem was that they were not emptied on a regular basis and were therefore sometimes overflowing.
6. Cemetery - Trees
With regards to the overhanging trees from the Cemetery, SHDC have now responded permitting the Church to cut the trees back, where applicable. The PCC will now need to arrange a suitable tree surgeon to trim these branches.
7. Shed/Memorial Bench
The old shed needs to be taken down and a discussion was had as to how and where it could be disposed. Councillor Mann kindly offered to dispose of the shed, once taken apart.
As mentioned previously, the Memorial Bench has now been stained.
It was agreed that the old mower could be given to the church, as a new one has been purchased.
8. Gedney Hill Estate Charity
A letter was sent to the school to remind them that, whilst both the GHEC and the Parish Council are happy for the entrance to be used, they do not gain any right of way or any say in how the pathway is to be used.
