5. VILLAGE MAINTENANCE
03/08/2021. Cllr G McLusky has provided a list of maintenance requirements to the Village Keeper, as follows:
1. Dog bin on A607 junction with North Road is over grown with tree branches.
2. The Litter Bin adjacent is being strongly guarded by a 6 ft high thistle and tree branches
3. The bus shelter there is over grown with ivy, with strands hanging down across the front 
4. There is a stretch of bushes on the verge, on the approach to the bus shelter on 607 going south from the pond direction, which are again beginning to grow across the pavement, need cutting back please.
5. Problems with the drain on the junction North Road/A607 apparently might need clearing back
6. Coming out from Quarry Lane onto the A607 in the car - viewing to the left (along towards the garage) is somewhat restricted as the bushes there are overgrown.
7. Gully on main road near Crow Lane could do with digging back along pavement
8. Around Crow lane road sign and narrow verge needs a strim
9. High street from traffic lights around and past Willoughby - Lots of weeds. Perhaps spray off
10. If you take a trip along 607 past the church there is thorny overgrowth hanging into pavement along wall down to St Anne's well. It is catching walkers and annoying them
11. Have a look past St Anne's on the right for overgrowth from hedges up to bridge.
12. Village hall trees on left. All these are growing into car parking areas and could do with trimming back
 
6. TREE PLANTING PROJECT
Notification has been received from LCC, Dan Clayton CEnv MIEMA, Sustainability Manager, LCC regarding a tree planting initiative and attached survey. This has been forwarded to the local Plant for the Planet group, who may assist with this survey, for submission to LCC.
