The Clerk met with the Principal Development Management Officer from Highways Moulton Park to discuss the potential need for a pavement extended outside the gate of the park. It was confirmed that it was not needed for a picnic area and as long as people and wheelchairs could stand on tarmac off the road, it would be adequate.
The Clerk stated the defib in Moulton door seems to be faulty. (this has since been checked and is all in working order.)
