5. Authorize Higher Payment for Allotment Fencing
The estimated cost of fencing for the allotments has now risen to £334. Liz will ask Terry Townsend if he knows about the poles that can be used as posts, which may lower his estimate. It was agreed that £334 would be the maximum amount allowed to be spent on the fencing.
6. Final Authorization to Purchase Play Area Equipment
Liz Cargill had chosen two play area items, the Blue Whale and Yellow Vehicle, from Venture Playground but as Joy Playground could supply identical items she asked them to quote. The quote was slightly cheaper than Venture Playground but included the cost of installation. The quote was £995 + VAT. All agreed to go with Joy Playground. Peter will speak to Jeff at Joy.
7. No.1 Globe Close
It was agreed that a letter should be written to Saffron Housing with a copy to South Norfolk Council about the noise and pollution from bonfires and chimney smoke at the above address. Mention will be made about the age and health of the neighbours. It is helpful to keep a diary of the problems.
The meeting finished at 7.35pm.
