7.INFORMATION FROM THE CLERK
The Clerk reported that the quote for the risk assessment of Woodup Pool was for £1450.00 plus VAT, travel and subsistence. The risk assessment was to take place on the 15th March. Councillors reiterated that the money would have to come from the pool account as it had not been included in the budget projection for this financial year. As this may become a regular requirement by the insurance company it was resolved to include a sum for this in the budget projections for the financial year 2008/2009. The Chairman also requested that he be present at the risk assessment as he wished to discuss the problem of silt build up. The previous risk assessment had recommended removing some of the silt. However, Councillors were unsure as to what the consultant thought was under the silt. Councillors were also unsure how much silt had accumulatedsince the last time it had been removed.The Clerk reported that she had ordered the new signs and they should be in situ by the 15th March.
