g) Bench at Itchen Abbas by the ‘Downs House’ – approval to position the bench has now been agreed with the landowners. It was agreed that Mr Dave Woolscroft should be asked to construct and fit the bench.

h) Street Lighting – after examining all the correspondence Councillor Gapper was now of the opinion that the contract for the street lighting was held with Hampshire County Council and that therefore the withheld payment should now be made.

It was unanimously agreed that the Clerk should approach Southern Electric Contracting and ask them to provide a quotation for maintaining the Parish Council’s street lights.

10.026  Matters for Decision/Discussion:

a)  Councillor Loader said that he had been asked by a resident, Mr Vernon Tottle to see what could be done about what Mr Tottle considered to be an eyesore at the Veterinary Centre. Councillor Loader said that he would ask the Centre to cut back the surplus plastic from around the old pathway.

b) Councillor Robinson reported that there is a team of Youth Opportunity Workers; an initiative financed by Hampshire County Council available for use within the area. She said that she would obtain a schedule of their work programme so that the Parish Council would know the available times to utilise the team’s services for local projects.

c) Councillor Harris said that he had attended the Hampshire Association of Local Council’s AGM and that because of the cutbacks their subscriptions would have to go up by 6%. He still felt that this was value for money and that the availability of information provided on the web-site was invaluable to local councils.
    
Councillor Harris asked the Clerk to provide all Councillors with the Name and Password for the HALC website.
