10.PLAY EQUIPMENT
The Village Hall Committee has asked for support for an application for new play equipment.

The Chair and Secretary of the Village Hall Committee are to be invited to attend the next meeting so that they can supply more details.
11 MEMBERS' REPORTS AND ITEMS FOR THE NEXT AGENDA
The rumble strips and other safety markings on the road have gone.
It would be preferable if there was a “Give Way” marking on the road where Spafford Close joins Adams Way as the right of way is not obvious.
The surface of Clay Lane is becoming increasingly domed.
The cracks in the surface of the footpath up the hill on Stow Park Road have widened, causing gaps wide enough for a hand to be inserted.
Cllr Spence is to buy the Wreath for Remembrance Day and the Christmas Tree.
Carols around the tree have been planned for 6 December commencing at 6.00pm, so the tree will be up for then.
12. DATE OF NEXT MEETING.
The next meeting will be on Monday 7 November 2022 commencing at 7.00pm
Meeting closed at 8:00pm
