Zone Warden Report: The Great British Spring Clean is the weekend of March 3rd – 5th 2018 and everyone is encouraged to participate, extra tough bags and other equipment can be obtained from the Zone Wardens. CBC has a Winter Warmth Health Project on-going and the front entrance of this hall could be used to distribute items such as warm clothing and blankets. As always littering and leaving extra black sacks around can incur an instant £100 fine and further prosecution can take place.
County and Borough Councillor Reports: The withdrawal or reduction of the 67A bus service through Peldon is of major concern and all possible action is being taken to address this matter. Unfortunately First Bus are a commercial company and therefore are within their rights to make cuts of this kind. Local public communication avenues will be notified of the facts and of any other develops as they come in. First Bus Head Office will be contacted and a representative will be requested to attend a meeting in this hall to explain their motives, lack of communications and notification. A petition from local residents is a probably course of action.
