08/41 ASHBROOK
The Chair outlined the extent of disease to the trees in Ashbrook and the proposed works from the Arboriculturalist. It was agreed to make a request to full council that the costs be met from the General Fund.
The Chair proposed that the planters bought for the Manor Waste, have the bench attachments installed and be planted and placed at the bottom of Ashbrook, alongside the new play equipment. This would provide a financial saving when taking into account buying new seats, against haulage costs. This was agreed.
08/42 MATTERS OF REPORT
a. Rope Walk Meadow was in need of cutting and baling.
b. The incidences of graffiti were increasing.
