He did a small repair to the toilet cistern in the changing rooms. The contractor who will be carrying out the refurbishment work to the bar will do the work during the school half-term in October when there are fewer bookings for the village hall. The Clerk reported that a surveyor from Mouchel had looked at the damaged tiles in the foyer but we were still awaiting the outcome as to whether they will be replaced with new tiles or carpet tiles. Fire alarm and emergency lighting tests were carried out today in the Community Centre and satisfactory Test Certificates were issued. AGREED to note the reports 147 CEMETERY The Chairman reported that he had carried out a monthly inspection of the Cemetery. There was one category 3 memorial and this was not a danger to anyone. He was still investigating costs for the small fencing near the garage. AGREED to note this information 148 ALLOTMENTS (a) Monthly inspection report on the allotments The Chairman reported he had carried out an inspection of the allotment site and they were all in a good condition apart from three that needed weeding. AGREED to note this information (b) Allotment list – report The Clerk reported that two allotment holders had indicated they may give up their allotments and she was waiting to receive a letter of confirmation from them. The current allotment waiting list was 32 but it is likely that some of the people waiting would not take on an allotment as they had been on the list for at least 2 years. AGREED to note this information 149 MULTI USE GAMES AREA (MUGA) The Chairman gave a report on obtaining funding for the MUGA refurbishment project.
