5.    Continuing Matters :

 

·  Community Recreation Area:  Cllr Failey gave an update. Cllr Hulme raised that in previous discussions the recreation area would be a separate entity to the parish council, Cllr Shaw agreed — it would be managed by the recreation group which has been formed- the parish council would support. Discussion re grant applications -these need to have supporting evidence of Recreation area accounts. Cllr Failey explained that the charity status has not yet been achieved for the Recreation area, and so are unable to apply for grants. It was queried re the ownership of the land and the equipment, and insurance- do the parish council rent the land to the Recreation Team???

 

Cllr Steel with enquire at East Riding if there is anyone available to support the team re funding bids. Cllr Lowde will pass grant information to Cllr Steel

 

Play equipment ordered, del w/c 17 Sepember 2018

 

Woodland Trust—grant successful-trees & shrubs to be delivered.

 

Re Charity status- the bank account name needs changing, also signatories to be changed on the recreation bank account, Cllr Failey to be added, Cllr Woodmansey to come off- there needs to be a constitution set up as to who is running it.

 

·         Defibrillator—new case, pads and battery delivered, battery installed by ambulance service. Contact Daniel Electrical if new case needs fitting. Now all registered and case number clearly displayed—advice is call 999 and give the number—they then give the code to access the machine.
