Agenda item

To receive and consider the report of the Operations and Estates Officer.

The Committee received and considered the report of the Operations and Estates Officer.  He advised that he was awaiting retrospective applications for temporary structures such as poly tunnels but was yet to receive any.  As the Allotment Association had agreed to look into composting, he had agreed to consider shredding any larger compostable material on site.

The Council was still waiting for soil tests on the new allotments at Windrush Place and could not proceed until it had been analysed to establish its suitability. This was obviously creating a delay in transfer.

RESOLVED:          that the report be noted and the Operations and Estates Officer be given permission to consider possible assistance with the shredding of larger composting materials at allotment sites – any further requests for assistance would be brought back to Committee.
