No declarations of interests were made.
4. Memorial Gardens Project
1. Project Update: The project has started, and the boundary fence location was agreed upon. Water pipes were found; Terra Firma & Beyond will investigate their route if feasible. We'll also contact Anglian Water to see if a water supply to the garden edge is possible, with plans for a locked tap cupboard if so.
2. Bench Refurbishment Grant: The Clerk spoke to the suggested local company, which hasn’t handled bench refurbishments before. As we already have three quotes, we’ll proceed as planned: two benches will be refurbished and painted black to match the stored bench. This decision was unanimous.
Meeting ended at 1745.
