4. Playing fields. Cllr. Richard Snell, Teynham Parish Council was the new Chairman of the Joint Playing Fields Committee. New fencing had been purchased for the Frognal Gardens boundary and some trees had been trimmed.
5. Highways. Toll Lane should be resurfaced this year.
6. Footpaths. It was noted that some stiles at field edges were being removed, presumably by KCC. Where stock did not need to be retained, stiles were now considered to be an unnecessary barrier to walkers.
7. Tree Warden report. On 6th May Cllr Baxter led a group of supervised children from Lynsted and Norton Primary School on a visit to Toll Wood, where they studied ‘food chains’. Mrs Candy was thanked for allowing access.
Full, detailed, minutes of Parish Council committee meetings, once signed and adopted, are available for inspection at Teynham Library, Greenstreet, and via the Clerk, by appointment. They are also on the Parish Council website: www.lkpc.org.uk
The next meetings of the Parish Council will be on 29th June (Lynsted Church Community Room) and 10th August (Belle Friday Centre) starting at 7.30pm. As always, members of the public are welcome. Parishioners are free to make a short statement the beginning of the meeting.
Bob Baxter.
