The Clerk agreed to request from NCC a map of the land which they own in the Parish.

It was agreed that the contract be amended to 8 cuts per year rather than 12 at the same overall cost.

In communicating this to NCC the Clerk will indicate the Council’s support for the need for a Cattle Grid on the U5059.
10. Wark Toilet Condition.
It was agreed that the appearance of the Wark Toilet needed attention. A gutter has fallen from the Garage roof and this results in water pouring over the entrance to the Ladies. The Clerk will write to the agent.

16. Report from County Councillor.
Cllr Heslop reported on his contact with the lady who had the NCC van. There appeared to be a number of issues and she is likely to be moving soon so that the problem may get resolved.
He then reported on the progress with the Bridge. He is planning to call a Public Meeting where the Council staff responsible will be available to answer questions. He hoped to set up a liaison committee to assist with communicating on the plans and on progress. Clearly there will be disruption when works are taking place but this is inevitable and he regarded it as excellent news that the repairs are to be done.
