First of all I am very pleased to say that we have a volunteer for a new Treasurer, so thank you to Mark for stepping forward. Again, as I have said before we would like to expand your committee so if you think you would like to join in please talk to me or Steve Yorke. It’s important we have some continuity with an eye to the future and even if you have not been with us long it is important that we hear new ideas and tap into what experience we have on site. A further reminder again that the AGM is on Sunday 17th March. Details will follow but talk to me if you want a subject on the agenda.
Apart from Harry’s old gardens we are full again so please make your new neighbors welcome and introduce yourselves.
We should be having our annual council inspection over the next few weeks. Please check that your garden looks tidy and worked on. Your hedges need to be between 5ft and 6ft high depending on type and if you have old wire fencing amongst it. If in doubt talk to me. Remember , hedge height it is part of your tenancy agreement which means you could lose the tenancy if you don’t comply and if the council mention it in the inspection we cannot ignore it.
There is a skip coming on Monday morning (28th) and we intend to fill it with rubbish from Harry’s gardens so we can start to measure out the new plots. If you feel like doing some exercise you would be very welcome to come and join us.
Lastly does anyone have a recommended local builder/roofer they could ask to help. I want a quote for improvements to the community building including new windows and door. So we can apply for funding. Again please get in touch.
