Apologies: J. Lane.
Matters Arising: Work parties went well on both sites. Many thanks to all who gave up 2 hours of their time to join in. Much was achieved.
Generator is still not working. Alan and Keith will take it into the Globe works. Apparently Luke’s father deals in generators and may be willing to part exchange this one for a working model if we cannot get it fixed.
Gro organic has been delivered £6.00 per bag please see Keith, Alan or Clive.
Padlock on Bull Meadow pedestrian gate still broken. Les has fitted a chain for now.
The hostel on whose land the dangerous conifer resides is to get someone to look at it.
Andrew will prune the oak tree on Rosedale Site when time allows. A grant for the ground at the entrance to Rosedale is still being looked into. A temporary solution maybe necessary. Alan to look into this.
Rosedale Road Report:
Nine sheds have been broken into, nothing stolen, but there was some damage. Police were informed and attended on site. Aldi’s had alarm locks in stock; keep your eye out for when they are in stock again. £8.99 – really loud!!
Little Thurrock School children visited the site on 6th March, and will make a return visit during June to see the difference. Thanks to Alan, Keith, Clive, Dave, Jane and any others involved for their input. No manure.
