           Skate Park - HMS reported on her efforts to obtain funding from
           various sources.

           able to inspect before Easter.

           Rota - the clerk would draw up a rota for the summer.


82/02  5   Rowans Play Area

           Quotations from Herald Contract Services and Wayman Fencing Services
           were received.

           Although there is no statutory requirement to fence off play areas
           ROSPA recommend most strongly that play areas be fenced to prevent
           dog fouling.

           It was AGREED
           to recommend that Council accept the quotation of £2270.12 from
           Wayman Fencing Services to supply and fit 63 metres of metal fence
           (1metre high) to enclose The Rowans play area.


83/02  6   AOB

           The clerk would ask Herald Contract Services for a quotation for
           topping up play areas with wood chippings - to include digging out
           and filling with chippings the grassed area behind the swings at
           The Rowans play area.


The meeting ended at 7.30pm.
