1. Kitchen update
Since the last report, further recommendations have been made in regard to the original plan. These requirements now include a full redecoration of the hall, foyer and WC’s, a replacement flooring throughout and new kitchen appliances as opposed to a straightforward Kitchen upgrade. Several quotes have been obtained from local businesses and for all work to be completed, an average of £29k is our new, final estimated figure. This will now be put to the Trustees with a view to them revising their original figure (due to additional requirements) and if accepted, a contractor will be appointed to begin work as soon as possible. Action: All
2. PAT Testing
A certificate is required to confirm our appliances meet with the necessary standards. A local electrical company will be engaged to provide this. Action: Frances
3. Update on the Phone Box
Frances Plummer’s continued discussions with BT and others has resulted in the securing of the phone box which has now been transformed into the village library. This will be maintained by village residents and everyone is encouraged to use it as often as they would like. Closed
4. Hall cleaning
The schedule and responsibilities of the hall cleaner were brought up again and a discussion will be had with the cleaner to rectify the current situation, ensuring a more robust cleaning schedule is implemented. Action: David C
5. Fly situation in the hall
The infestation of flies seen over the last few months has continued. Various local companies have been approached with a view to locating the source of the problem and how to deal with them each year. As it is currently the wrong time of year to deal with them on a permanent basis, two options will now be undertaken; 1. industrial chemical spray will be used to control them when necessary. 2. A professional standard insect device will be considered as a permanent fixture to eradicate all flies as and when they appear. Action: Richard & Dave H
