The owners would be written to advising them that an inspection had taken place. He reported that Mr Jones had nearly finished boxing in the taps. He had looked at the hedge in Phase 2 and it was a large job to cut it back and would be costly. He did not recommend spending money on having it cut back as it would be a few years before Phase 2 would need to be used. 74 ALLOTMENTS The Chairman had inspected the allotments and reported that the tenant of an overgrown plot would receive a letter giving them a months notice to tidy the plot. He also reported that 4 of the posts in the fence needed straightening up. 75 MULTI USE GAMES AREA (MUGA) The Chairman reported that the plans for the extension to the MUGA had been submitted to Mid Beds District Council. Quotations for the fencing would be sought and it was important that the same standard was used in each quotation in order that like for like could be compared. The Chairman reported that he had met with one floodlight company and they would be sending in a quotation for new lights.
