17.149 Matters Arising
1)Item 17.65/3/d - Old NCC Depot, A6006 Nottinghamshire County Council have informed Mr Armstrong that should the boulders and trees, currently installed on the highway verge, not be removed then Nottinghamshire County Council will remove all items and charge the persons responsible.
No action required
2)Item 17.95/a - Bus Shelter library – Should the Parish Council take on the responsibility of the bus shelter they would then become responsible for responding to any requests for a replacement bus shelter and ultimately for the decision about when to replace it. Nottinghamshire County Council have confirmed that the shelter was installed between 2005 and 2009. The shelter was stained in 2017 and the report carried out showed no comments and hence it was presumed that the shelter is in good condition. Nottinghamshire County Council recommend that the shelter is restained every 4 years, swept out every 6 months and that a report on the shelter is carried at the same time. It was suggested that the PTA might consider helping towards the cost of replacing the shelter should it require replacing in the future. It was suggested that before any firm decision is made the following should be obtained.
1)A structural survey is to be carried out.
2)Insurance cost to be obtained.
3)Primary School to outline their responsibilities.
Action
Clerk to organise the survey and insurance quote
R. Ereminowicz to contact the school.
