A successful meeting of Hughenden Parish Council was held on 19th November.
Items covered included risk assessments that are being carried out on our four
ponds. The first, Cockpit Hole, was found to be “low risk” with some
recommendations regarding signs and short fence extensions. A plan to address
these was agreed.
An update was given on the renovations to the Templewood and Great Kingshill
playgrounds. The former is under construction, with completion within the next
two weeks and the latter should be ready in spring 2025.
The appointment of a full time Chief Officer (Clerk) is imminent. The handover
from our present locum clerk is being arranged.
The re-mapping of the graves at the Garden of Rest was approved as there is a
legal requirement to keep it updated.
The present contractors for our open spaces, hedges and verges will run out at the
end of the financial year. A consultant has drawn up a tender procurement
document that was approved by council and will be sent to a number of potential
suppliers.
The election of members of the council will be held next spring and it is vital that
residents put themselves forward so that we have a full complement of councillors
in the future.
