1377 Any Other Business
1. An e-mail has
been received from Peter Smart of Cherry Cottage,
expressing concerns about
i. the verge and banks at the entrance to Back Lane, If there is a safety problem, then it is the responsibility of the Highways Department to cut these verges; it was agreed that this is not so and Roger will have a word with the owner of Clandon Manor Farm, asking them to tidy them up.
ii. the hedges alongside footpath 74. These are very overgrown.
Also mentioned, was the poor condition of the footpath continuation of the old Epsom Road as it joins up with the A246, and the overgrown nature of footpath 528, leading from Sawpit Lane back on to the Street.Mary will contact the SCC footpaths officer (Tim Powles) at SCC. Action: Mary
2. Sound Fencing.
The right
hand panel has become loose from its supports, and 'wobbles' at the place
where there is a gap for pedestrians to go through on to the A246.Mary
will contact Guildford Fencing. Action: Mary
3. Concurrent
Functions Grant Aid Scheme.
This is to be brought to the attention of the village, for suggestions
whereby we might make use of this scheme, which provides up to 50% grant
aid for one-off projects. Already suggested: the purchase of a secure
storage system for our parish archives, possibly then to be kept in the
village hall(currently kept in the garage of the previous parish clerk!);
"Welcome to our village" sign(s); garden machinery. Mary will
contact Geoff Nutt at GBC to ascertain if these suggestions are a suitable
use for the Aid Scheme. Action: Mary
4. Information
leaflets,
received from time to time by the Council which are of interest to the
public. Because we have nowhere to display page two these, Ann will ask
the Church PCC if they can be put on a table in the church. Action:
Ann
