The positioning of the new public toilet was discussed. It will be in the football changing rooms and completed outside the football season next. The 106 money will fund this. It is hoped to upgrade the changing rooms at the same time.

Planting of the new bulds by nearby primary school children will go ahead this next week. Some 5000 bulbs will be planted in various areas in the park.

 The new cycle way that will run from Broomie close entrance to the Rectory road entrance will soon be started.

Some of the benches were now ready to be installed. This will be in the near future.

The use of public space for organised ball games was discussed. David Pears promised to investigate the policy and the insurance implecations.

A lot of ground was covered and hopefully a lot of positive things will come from the work the friends have put in.
