7.40pm Cllr Long arrived.
¨ The chair invited Laura Reilly to speak about the next phase of the Playing Fields project. Laura explained that the next phase was to include a nature reserve and nature play area. Laura has spoken to Groundwork and the Environment Agency. They hope to create a couple of boggie areas as well as a play area. This would go where the old changing rooms used to be in the Playing Fields. They have spoken to three different Landscape architects and need £950 for the first drawings. Then they will present these to the Parishioners and ask for their opinions. Laura asked if the Parish Council would make a donation to fund these drawings. It was suggested it may be possible to fund the project with 106 monies. After discussion Cllr Snowball said in principal it was a good idea and would support the initial £950 for the drawings, But the Parish Council needed to see more robust drawings and he would not be comfortable using all the 106 monies on one project. He suggested that she contacted Gary Limbert at SDC to trigger monies from other sources. Cllr Sims seconded the motion - all agreed. The Parish Council strongly wishes to support this phase in some way. Laura to come back to the next meeting with the drawings. The cheque for £950 to be made payable to Estel Warren.
