Council Reports • Open space and greening our Parish: Councillors are looking forward to the Boulevard from Mill Road to the Northern Gateway development being open, once the works on demolishing the old rugby club are completed. Plans are underway for the design of the Village Green, which will be managed by MCC on a long term lease. In the meantime, we continue to look after our planters with changes to planting and regular watering. • Hedge cutting and pathway clearance: By next month, subject to Council approval, we should be able to start work on cutting and clearing a small number of identified locations, using our budget from Highways. This, we hope, will be the start of our increasing responsibility for our local environment. • Garden project: Repair works to the pathways, driveway, patio, and back garden to the Parish Office, at 101 Nayland Road, have recently been agreed to improve access and safety and to allow us to increase and maximise our utilisation of the premises, whilst ensuring it remains in a good state of repair as a community asset. After site visits, we received detailed quotations from three contractors and soon Alex Willis Building & Landscaping will be starting works. • War memorial flooding works: Councillors John Dickson and Pete Hewitt, working with County Councillor David King, actively pursued Highways works at the war memorial on Mile End Road, to prevent the regular flooding which takes place. This was completed in time for Remembrance Day. We now have some additional budget to fund similar works in other locations. Please let us know if there is anywhere near you that we can help with. • Website: We have been working on our website to make it easier to navigate and find information about meetings and our Councillors. Don’t forget you can always see what is going on from our Noticeboards in several locations around the Parish, or our Facebook page. Our hope is residents have some input to our decisions.
