02 - Annual Play Park inspection report:  Requires monitoring of the wet pour, corrosion beneath swingseat of nuts & bolts.
03 - Christmas decorations for the lamp posts.  No budget was made for Christmas decoration in the 2021/22 precept and the clerk envisages an over spend on the precept this year before adding this expense.
