3. Play Area Hedge
Cllr Crampin had got a quote from B. Mumby for cutting the hedge on two sides and clearing the undergrowth £300.00 and removal and burning £480.00 However there is only a one week window to work in. Also NLC advise that we are not allowed to burn on site as it is classed as commercial waste.
A long discussion ensued as to how we proceed. Cllr Tulloch proposed, in view of the timescale that we defer until next year, Cllr Whelpton seconded this and the council voted unanimously to defer. Further enquiries will be made, and more quotes sought. Cllr Grainger will contact a couple of tree surgeons for non committal quotes, he also felt we could explore NLC’s answer regarding burning and ask our ward Cllr for advice.
Thanks were extended to Cllr
Crampin for all the time and effort he had put into the issue.
