AGENDA
●​ Discussed that Jo Tarrant came to the site. To discuss the lease and generally just look at the Allotments.
●​ Anne-Marie has volunteered as the treasurer and David Kirkham will step down. They have agreed to arrange to meet and do a handover.
●​ Went over the tenancy rule for dumping on site. And gave a warning that if anyone was caught it would be taken seriously.
●​ The Plot re inspections for those that got warnings will be happening on the 17th and 18th of October.
●​ We spoke about CCTV again, having spoken about it in previous meetings. We decided to take a vote of which was unanimous. We will take a look into how much it would cost and the best way i.e how many , where we put them and whether it would be cost-effective to Association.
●​ All plots have been let except for two.
●​ The leak on the water pipe on the bottom lane has been fixed. Steve has estimated that the leak cost the Association about £120 in waste water.
●​ Reminder that dogs must be on lead in communal areas.
●​ It was decided that work parties would be on the same day as burn day so that there’s more people available. The Association decided that it would be a good idea to order several tons of hard-core and stone to repair the main driveway.
●​ We have asked for help to do the car park halfway the main drive by anyone who can spare any time?
●​ Myself will contact the council to chase the report on the Top gate.
A.O.B
●​ Ask Parveen to audit the accounts.
●​ NSLG about re-registering the address for Allotments.
●​ Query water plus payments.
●​ Write up a small contract for disclaimer for tools borrowing.
●​ A discussion on R.B returning back to site as a plot holder was raised and we did take a vote on it. But on reflecting on previous minutes we also voted unanimously at the previous AGM that he was only allowed on site as a visitor. I believe this matter should go back to the AGM where there is more of an attendance of numbers to the meeting to touch on this issue again.
