Memorial Garden - Chris Whitfield of Lesbury House has generously offered to cut the grass in the Memorial Garden free of charge.

4ShoresProject - The benches are fixed and look good. Dorothy Osler, a keen naturalist, said she would monitor changes in the flora and fauna and report back.
Affordable Housing on the land west of Townfoot Steading - Planning approval was was granted. This must be carefully monitored to see that the developer strickly adheres to the rules in Section 106.

Enrichment within the Parish - Councillor Mc Knight, with some help, intends to erect an owl box near to Greyhurst.
