Claxby Community Field Management Committee Report
November 2024
- Volunteers have moved top soil, rubble and sown further areas of grass (some includes wild flowers). More bulbs are to be planted.
- A Picnic in the Park event was held on September 14th in recognition of the completed installation of the new play equipment. Many parishioners attended with friends and family. Helen Gamble(Project Officer for Lincs Wolds National Landscapes) visited too.
- Helen returned with a group of colleagues from the Northern Group from National Landscapes in October to showcase some of her funding projects in Claxby both in the field and village hall.
- Helen has confirmed that she has funding available to help us to achieve some of the remaining ‘wish list’ for the field – approx. £3,669 ex VAT. This would include:
Two all inclusive picnic tables £1358.00
Seat £ 503.00
Completion of fencing £1725.00
Anchors for seats/tables £ 83.27
The Parish Council will need to manage the works. We can expect 50% of the cost up front and 50% on completion.
Propose – that the goods are purchased as soon as possible to make use of the offered funding.
- The entrance to the play area requires an updated notice in order to meet with regulations. A custom-made information sign has been costed at £156.00(incl VAT).
Propose – that the PC purchases a notice board for the field.
Update:
December 2024 - bench and tables were purchased. Fences have been ordered.
See Certificate for the bench made of recycled plastic.
