Best Kept Village; Edingale had been awarded first place in the small village category and all involved were congratulated.

The property was now empty and they would be asked again for the notifiable weeds be removed. Litter signs; Cllr Lacey had kindly organised and put up signs at Edingale Swifts ground asking footballers to take litter home.

A response had been sent stating that the building would be an improvement on the currently dilapidated outbuilding, however there were concerns about access. Highways had objected to parking on their land and poor access close to the junction so approval was unlikely.
Alrewas Quarry; the Parish Council’s objection had been withdrawn following further information received.

Cllr Mason said that several trees on the Rowley Close and Blakeways Close were thriving and needed lower branches removed. A quote would be requested for this work to be done in the autumn. He also said that various hedges near to the open spaces had grown vigorously over the summer, and the Village Gardeners would be asked to trim these after the mowing season.
Cllr Mason asked that the Village Hall Committee be informed that the Parish Council would make a donation again towards the Seniors Christmas Party. This was in the budget and would be on the next agenda.
Cllr Meikle said that the last Parish Forum had discussed the sharing of best practice. He would attend again and suggested that improved Councillor election forms could be an item under discussion. He was looking forward to entering various classes and attending next week’s Summer Show. He expressed his appreciation of the work done to surface the Village Hall car park.
Cllr Purkess also thanked the Parish Council on behalf of the Committee for the Parish Council’s funding of the car park renovation, which had taken ten years to finally reach completion, so everyone was relieved that it had now been achieved.
