Minutes of the last meeting were agreed by all and signed by the chairman
Zone Warden Report: None received
County and Borough Councillor Reports: ECC is dealing with potholes as fast as they can having received further government funding. GDPO (General Data Protection Officer) advice was given which will be explored further to enable us to comply when necessary.
Public-Have Your Say: A red dog bin was requested to be installed at the end of Lodge Lane owing to increased numbers of people walking round the reservoir with dogs and putting bags of dog faeces in the hedges on their return instead of taking them home and enquiries will be made to obtain one. The drains in Salcott are blocked which will be reported again as this is a potential flooding problem if there is a heavy rain fall. Bags for Peldon litter pickers was requested and will be ordered. Ditches in St Ives Road need clearing and land owners will be notified. The Community Workers have caused unrest with residents who live near the Peldon & Wigs Hall. They have been warned about their previously bad behaviour and will be restricted to the lobby area of the hall in future and will be given one more chance, but they have carried out some excellent work for us with no labour costs.
