Agenda item

To note the above programme of works.

The Committee received and considered the Officers’ Schedule of Work.  The Town Clerk was pleased to advise that some items were now complete.

A member asked where the bus shelter that was moving from Marriott’s Walk to Market Square would be sited.  The Operations and Estates Officer explained that unfortunately it was not in a condition to withstand moving.

Another member asked for an update on the bus shelter art.  The Communications and Events Officer replied that it was ready but she had not had time to action it yet.

Another member asked about the possibility of additional grit bins and the Land Army being able to help regarding snow clearance.  The Town Clerk said that she would speak to the relevant County Council officer.

A member asked what was happening with the bench at Oxlease following the resident’s request.  The Operations and Estates Officer advised that Cottsway who owned the land had agreed in principle but wanted to know what the Town Council would do to deter anti-social behaviour (ASB).  It was highly likely that ASB would occur due to the location.  Members discussed this and agreed that Cottsway should be written to and have it explained that if the bench did cause any problems, it would be removed.

RESOLVED:

1.            that the report be noted;

2.            that the bench at Blakes Avenue be sited in the agreed location and that Cottsway informed that if there were incidences of ASB, the bench could be removed.
