Upcoming events – Ladies day in March. D day event June (6th?)Alan Lorimer is hoping to do a beacon again with the scouts. It will be marked during the day with a wreath at the War memorial. Time to be confirmed. Carolyn will source 8 trailing plants for the planters.

Ann, Issy and Rena have been involved with the locality plan which is going to be written by Colin and Stephen. It involves the land and spatial look of the community. People can come up with ideas and alternatives for the whole of the village.

There are budgets that we can apply for and Ann and Issy are taking this forward. Smaller funding perhaps for community lights and capital regeneration funding for the development of the Lusset Glen.

Parking on pavements was raised and Daniel Lennie said that the introduction of traffic wardens is being looked at but nothing in place from WDC as yet.

Carolyn raised the issue of the non emptying of bins in the Saltings and the slip hazards of the leaves and wooden boards and a broken over hanging branch on the bridge from the canal to the Saltings. Daniel will look into this.

Date of next meeting

Tuesday 13th February 2024, 7pm - 9pm in the church hall.

This has been extended to work on the locality plan.
