3. PUBLIC SESSION (SUSPENSION OF STANDING ORDERS) 15 MINUTES MAXIMUM
Electricity on the Green to power lights for Christmas tree and other events. Paul Oliver has investigated the possibility of putting a power source on the Green instead of running a cable from the pub. Labour will be provided free of charge and the net cost ex vat would be £ 818. for EDF supply and £ 465 for feeder pillar, cables etc would be £600.00, and these would have to be trenched. Paul advised the meeting that EDF would deal with planning when public areas are involved.
It was suggested that as the cost was high this should be an agenda item for Annual parish Meeting and the possibility of hiring a sleeping policeman for cables should be looked into for this year. The Chairman thanked Paul for his contribution.
It was suggested that as a fund raising item Christmas baubles with children’s names on them could be sold at the shop.
