Minutes of meeting held on 10th September 2024
The minutes from the previous meeting were held over due to only 1 of the councillors present today having attended that meeting also.
Matters Arising
The Alvingham Cup. Councillor Ashley would like to see the best garden competition advertised as soon as possible. Clerk to action. It was agreed it would need to be the garden visible from the road to keep with the overall objective of making the village look more attractive. A date needs to be set to judge the competition, perhaps mis summer solstice? And consideration should be given to whether a plaque or trophy should be given to the winner in addition to their name going on the main cup which will be kept in the village hall.
Treasurers Report
After paying for the cup to be re silvered and the phone box renovations we are left with a balance of £4774.07. There are no other cheques or expenses to pay save the clerks fee in due course.
Correspondence
Nothing to note
Any Other Business
It was noted that the Louth Canal has been flailed but the bottom needs cleaning out.
There is an on going issue with the state of the road outside spring side which needs reporting to fix my street again.
Next Meeting Tuesday 14th January 2025 7.30pm.
