Is this something PCC could help with, look at costings. Article for Living Villages requesting residents’ comments.
Play Area: A letter had been sent to Jim Daley from a resident outlining his objections to a play area on the village green expressing his concerns: that the area in question is very small, it would be very close to the wall, infringing his privacy. The councillors explained to the resident that no firm plans were in place and they were at this moment in time considering suitable areas. It was proposed that we revisit the Nene Close area and speak with owners of Haycock again, say in 6 months’ time, when there may be other suggestions for a suitable play area – an agenda item for March 2012 meeting.
