- Chair’s Welcome
The Chair firstly offered thanks to the Burton Conservation volunteers who spent two days clearing the pond and surrounding undergrowth at the Village Green and replacing the pond liner. A further thanks went to Tom Salt for the topsoil which allowed the volunteers to dam off a section to protect some of the vegetation and effect create two ponds within one, with the larger section being re-lined so that it should now hold water all year round. It will also make the liner much easier to replace when it deteriorates which it will inevitably do over time, this being a man-made pond. The Townlands Charity were also offered thanks for their generous donation of £200 for the upkeep of the defibrillator and £250 to cover the cost of the replacement pond liner.
The parish council currently have a Community Fund application in with ESBC to look at supporting the costs of the work undertaken.
The Chair gave thanks as well to Ian Gregson for repairing the bench which sits on the unmetalled part of Martins Lane. It’s had a complete overhaul and is now safe to sit on again and gaze out across what must be one of the most beautiful views in Staffordshire.
A final thank you went to Cllr Bailey for attending the remembrance service at Rangemore. Cllr Harrison will be attending the Fauld Memorial service on 27th Nov.
Lastly, the chair mentioned the issue of dog poo being left on the road, pavements, and verges. Dog owners are requested to use the 3 dog poo bins – one at each end of Chapel Lane and another by the Cock Inn.
Action: Clerk to send a thank you letter to Burton conservation volunteers
