PB has asked if we should close off Duck Square as 2 children on bikes are coming onto the allotment through the gap in the fence. CPC says the gap is the responsibility of the two houses not CAGA.
PB suggested rotovating the grassy patch at the end of the access road previously used for bonfires. The ground could then be levelled and used for car parking. NL to try it with the tractor this coming weekend.
NL commented that the gate has still been open late at night. Seported that Robert Davis is responsible for locking it when everyone has left.
A vote of thanks was given to Ged and Stuart for trimming the hedge along the access road. The rubbish will be burnt on 30F in due course.
Next meeting – 19th July 2017. Apologies in advance from MI.
