Matters Arising

Access Routes through Copster Green

J Aaron and M Harwood have obtained a quote from O’callaghan Civil Engineering for undertaking the repair works to the access routes. The quote was for £1750+VAT. It was agree to undertake these works. Notices will be sent to the residents regarding the works. It was agreed to avoid Thursday’s (refuse collection day) and aim for a Tuesday and Wednesday.

Common Land close to Salesbury Cricket Club

D Wardleworth and Mr Foley have met on the common land close to the Church/Salesbury Cricket Club and have devised a plan for the cutting of the grass which will leave a number of areas uncut to allow wild flowers to flourish.

Knottweed

The Knottweed on Lovely Hall Lane appears to be sprouting again. In addition the Knottweed at Ashes Farm has not been sprayed. Clerk to write to RVBC.

Use of Weedkiller on the Common Land

It is noted that RVBC are using weedkiller along the edges of the common land – this is obviously killing off the grass/reducing the common land and looks aesthetically unpleasing. Clerk to write to RVBC and request this practice is stopped.
