Clerk’s Notes to the Agenda

5. Matters arising - updates required

Clerk

  • NCC Meetings
  • Update to grant policy
  • New Councillor advertising
  • Drop kerbs
  • Playground equipment

All

  • Transport priorities

Cllr Kirkbride

  • Skateboard half pipe

Playground: 

Please note the above figures exclude shipping and installation, so the final costs are not entirely certain. The following combinations will, however, broadly fit within the £10,000 budget from the last meeting:

1. Wheelchair Carousel + Triple somersault bars (£8,460)

2. Wheelchair Carousel + Water Lilies (£8,500)

3. WeHopper + Play Panel 2 + Triple somersault bars (£8,700)

4. Rectangular jumper (£9,230)

5. Rigel (£9,320)

It is worth noting that any of these combinations are still likely to go at least slightly over the £10k budget due to installation fees, which are uncertain until we have a site visit from Kompan. Obviously options 1, 2 or 3 can also be split to just buy 1 or 2 pieces of equipment. Other combinations would be possible, but would require additional fundraising. 

Of these options, if the PC wishes to add inclusive equipment, only options 1 and 2 include such equipment. However this could incur some additional costs for creating a level path.
