Agenda Item 9.2

Hello, 

I remember form quite a while ago the parish council put out a call for ideas to where residents would like new trees planted. We were wondering if you had any response from that? The reason I am asking is that we have recently formed a NSC tree group and was wondering if we could organise a tree planting day for the village in conjunction with the Council.

Kind regards

 

Agenda Item 10.1

Outstanding Highways Issues

1. Drainage in Sand Down Lane – waiting for contractor to carry out work
2. Concrete blocks by Langford Road – request sent to Highways to clean
3. Warning sign at end of Church Lane – waiting for response from Highways
4. Retaining wall at Shutternbrook – MDDC or DCC?
