- Playgrounds and Playing Fields are in good order but the grass is getting long but unfortunately, is far too wet to cut at present. Thanks to our Borough Councillors’ generous Locality Budget contributions, we will be ordering benches for both fields and looking into possibly installing some adult gym equipment on Moss Hay.
- Salcott Telephone Kiosk is now up and running as a Book Box thanks to brilliant efforts from various people. It was agreed by all to pay £150 to Men’s Sheds charity to cover the cost for the shelving and a donation. A bench will be installed next to the box and again, Borough Councillor Locality Budget has been gratefully received in helping with this project. Fitting of paving slabs quotation was discussed and with a satisfactory response to a query was agreed by all.
