13/B16 Minutes & matters arising from the Buildings Committee on 14th March 2016 not otherwise on the agenda

It was resolved that the minutes of the meeting of 14th March 2016 be accepted as an accurate record of the meeting (proposed by Cllr Dodds and seconded by Cllr Budden). Outstanding items were to be considered under their relevant agenda headings. The Chair noted that following the break-in the claim had been processed and received.

14/B16 Village Hall

Accessible toilet: The chairman advised that a further tender process was underway with a deadline of 5th July. The tender which had been in the first tender process would be carried forward. Gravers (Builders) have declined to quote for the toilet work and in light of that Members agreed to recommend that Council suspend the relevant standing order in order to consider two (only)submitted tenders, in view of need to complete work for the grant funding time frame.

Health & Safety: The Assistant Clerk updated members on the Health and Safety audit which had been carried out. The remaining actions outstanding would be completed in due course. Cllr Dodds asked about the storage of cleaning chemicals and it was agreed that the Caretaker Risk Assessment would be updated accordingly.

The Chair advised that the Pavilion Committee would in future be reported as a Sub-Committee of the Buildings Committee. Members agreed this was appropriate.
