Matters arising The PC discussed the application for retrospective planning permission for a conservatory at the rear of the new houses next to Highfield Farm. It was decided to object on the grounds that there could be potential problems being so close to the playing field and that if permission were to be granted it should not set a precedent for the neighbouring houses. The bus shelter has been repaired and re-stained. Correspondence The Clerk had received letters from the Warden of Bottisham Village College, the Assistant Director of Community Services at County and James Paice MP following a letter declining a donation being given to BVC towards road calming and adult education. All agreed with the letter from the PC deploring the need for this kind of funding.
Playing field update The purchase of the playing field has now been completed.
This is to go towards the price of the land, the cost of a second-hand mower and the purchase of some play equipment. Village notice board - the Diocesan secretary at Ely has told the PCC that if they are to share a board with the PC outside the Church they require a Diocesan crest to be at the top of the board. PC decided not to proceed with sharing the board as this suggestion is confusion and inappropriate. Grass cutting - Clerk to write asking for tenders for the cemetery, Fair Green and the playing field.
