The issue of ownership of the land is sub-judice so HPC will take no action for the present.\u00a0 The matter will need to go to planning should the land issue be resolved to allow access.\u00a0 However without prejudice the Chairman offered to meet The Hemlocks residents informally as the PC roads initiative representative to discuss their concerns.<\/p>\n 4\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>Minutes<\/b> of meeting held on May 13th<\/sup> were agreed and signed with the amendment \u00a0that the\u2019 Parish Council agreed to support the principle of the school\u2019s access through The Hemlocks\u2019 paragraph 15<\/p>\n Proposed TB and Seconded JJ<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b>5\u00a0\u00a0 Matters to be reported from these minutes \u2013 <\/b>Quotes received from Sam Howell for tree work<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n 1\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Remove lower limbs of trees along Manor House Drive, and remove ivy covered elder near kissing gates\u00a0 –\u00a0 price \u00a3140<\/p>\n 2\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sam suggests reducing the height of the hawthorn trees on the far side of WH Meadow to hedge height as one has already fallen and others are beginning to<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Price \u00a3950<\/p>\n Advice to be sought on this from the Village Tree Officer, and other quotes obtained.\u00a0<\/p>\n No work to be done until the nesting season is over<\/p>\n 3\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Reduce the size of the Elm tree on the green at The Elms by 35-40% as it is causing<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 problems for houses 15-19 The Elms\u00a0 –\u00a0 price \u00a3285<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Parish Council Vacancy is now being advertised on the website and noticeboards, closing date July 13th.\u00a0 It will appear in the next C & V<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0RoSPA have been asked to carry out an inspection of the play area and the skate park<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 6\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Planning \u2013<\/b><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Permission given by SCDC for garage conversion with new pitched roof, 11 New Road<\/p>\n 7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/b>Additional Matters for discussion<\/b> \u2013 following damage to the large slide in the play area, a meeting was held last Monday with Kompan the manufacturers who are mystified by the damage and have agreed to repair it free of charge, and are to carry out investigations.<\/p>\n Street lighting up times to be checked on.\u00a0 The cycle barrier in Butler Way has been damaged again, this will be reported to Highways.<\/p>\n Grantchester \/Haslingfield Footpath update \u2013in principle consent has been obtained from Kings College by SCDC Planning staff, – CCC are behind with their work load due to reorganisation and shortage of staff.\u00a0 There is no money available at the moment to carry out the work, but CCC might be prepared to borrow money against future Section 106 money for the project.
