safe that Amenity Services will undertake any other repairs as necessary. It was noted that it would be good to have an
update on the bridge position for the next meeting and that the recent
vandalism in the park will require work to repair.

The
Committee noted the update provided and agreed that an update on the bridge
would be provided at the next meeting.

Ailsa
Cunningham had intimated her apologies on the morning of the meeting and no
update regarding the budget, or involvement of the Service, was provided.
Matt
Offord flagged the boundary concerns previously identified by Friends of
Duchess Woods, commenting that this would be a big issue in terms of the
decision recently made by the Council not to renew the Management Agreement
when it expired. The main issue was in regard to the East boundary as there are
trees and branches which have the potential to cause damage to properties in
this area. Sean McCay
commented that it was important that the Council meet their obligations in
terms of the existing agreement.
