From Parish Council Minutes, item 148 at the Nov 2006 meeting

A letter from the Acorn Group raised the following points:

• Improvements made by resurfacing of road but white lines need replacing • Corner of Down Edge/Lybury Lane dangerous – vehicles cutting corner posing safety hazards to pedestrians • Side opening between flats and back garden of No 1 Down Edge is being used as a toilet • Dropped kerb near 25 Down Edge requires repair • Footpaths need repairs outside 48-54 Down Edge • Repairs needed outside 32 Down Edge to BT cover

The Acorn Group to be informed that the District Council officers are walking around Downedge on 6th December to ascertain what improvements may be made to the area.

Flamsteadbury Play Area

The Group applied for 2 pieces of equipment from Tesco. Komphan Ltd, (the manufacturers) are able to repair and install them. The total cost is more than the budget provision and ways are being sought to reduce costs.

The Acorn Group, together with the Parish Council, have been refurbishing the Flamsteadbury Lane Play area. New slides and a springy horse have been added. The oldest swings near the fields have been removed and new swings placed at the Stephens way side.

The Acorn Group is making a Lottery application to finance fencing of the site.
