46 HEATHSIDE
There was discussion on which of 2 quotations received for making the entrance roadway should be accepted as they were of similar price but slightly different specification.
RESOLVED that
the quotation from JPS, for 12 inch deep compacted road planings topped with compacted 20 mm stone, be accepted;
JPS be asked to create a 12 feet wide roadway with 3 feet wide cleared pathway on each side; and
JPS be asked to quote for removal of the old chain link and concrete post fence at the same time.
47 WESTMINSTER FIELD
Members gave consideration
to what should be done at this location to replace the demolished barrier. The committee was informed that Kent County
Council public rights of way have offered cash and had suggested that
substantial posts should be installed.
Members felt that a chicane
barrier similar to what was there before was preferable. They were told that a mother who makes 4
trips a day on this path with a child’s buggy had asked that any replacement
barrier should not be as narrow as the present one which made
life really difficult.
RESOLVED that a site meeting be held on Saturday 28
January at 10 am.
The meeting ended at 8.30 pm.
