Blewbury Parish Council in the Benefice Office held on
Thursday the 24th of February 2011 at 12 noon
Councillors present: Mr C Whatmore (Vice-Chairman), Mr R Farrell, Ms S Loy
Also present: E Smit (clerk)
1. Apologies for absence Mr A Cooper, Mr M Shread, Mr M Shayler, Ms J Gibson, Ms C Duckett
2. Declarations of interest. No declarations made.
3. Resolution: To appoint Adventure Playground Engineers Ltd as contractor for the TFF play space development. Following a discussion on the possible risk facing the Council if a contractor is appointed and a deposit paid prior to planning consent being obtained, the resolution was amended as follows: Resolution to agree the selection of Adventure Playground Engineers Ltd and to sign the contract with an instruction to Anthony Stiff that he reviews the risks associated with commissioning the work in advance of planning being awarded. CW proposed, RF seconded, agreed.
As reassurances have been given that the deadline set by OCC for the completion of the play space could be re-negotiated, it was decided that a deposit will not be paid too far in advance.
4. Playbuilder contract amendment. It was reported that the contract has been amended and that the deadline has been moved to 30 June 2011. CW signed the amendment to the contract.
5. Any Other Business. It was reported that contractors arrived at the Exception Site to remove the hedge along Bridus Way in anticipation of the commencement of the building project. As this was not part of the original planning consent, the planning authority asked that the engineers should go back to Highways and if they insist that the hedge be cut down, a new landscaping plan and amended access plans should be submitted.
6. Details of the next meeting. 14 March 2011
Meeting ended 12h25
