Agenda item

To receive the report of the Maintenance & Environmental Services Officer.

The Committee considered the report of the Maintenance & Environmental Officer, which explained the situation around the current practice of maintaining the ditch infill at both bowls greens. 

The Maintenance & Environmental Officer was suggesting rubber spiked matting called hedgehog matting.  Members thought this was a good idea and discussed how this could be funded given the limited budgets available.  A Member mentioned that on the success of the Commonwealth Games 2022 there was some legacy funding available – a scheme called ‘United 2022’, and wondered if the clubs could apply.

Resolved:

1.      That, the report be noted, and

2.     That Maintenance & Environmental Officer contact the  Bowls clubs to discuss how they can support some of the costs, and suggest that they could apply to the  Commonwealth Games 2022 legacy grant funding , scheme “United 2022”.
