Clerk’s Notes to the Agenda
5. Matters arising - updates required
Bike Racks: Three bike racks were erected by NCC on a tarmacked area not marked as a parking bay outside the Post Office, and two on King Street. Following complaints from the sub post mistress about the effect on deliveries and servicing of the pillar box, these were subsequently removed following a meeting with Cllrs Wilkinson and Tilley. County Cllr Riddle took exception to the racks being sited without consultation with him, as he had a scheme in the pipeline to put racks outside the First Chapter Book Shop, which was acceptable to the proprietor.
Wildflower Sites: The contractor has so far failed to respond to two emails querying his actions with regards to the planting and care of the wildflowers at sites in the village, so the £400 bill remains outstanding.
