Minutes of the GRA Committee Meeting Held on Monday 9th September 2019

Venue 3 The Pavilions

Present.

1. Apologies. These were received from Phil Coombe, Larry Irwin, Daniel Puddick, Peter Farrington, Robert Fowler, Simon Wright and Jonathan Hunnibal.

2 . Minutes of the Committee Meeting of the 15th July were approved as correct .

3. Cart and Wagon Shed - Update by Chris following the last meeting of the SCCT ;

Following Major Hill 's death we can confirm that all the Royal Artillery artefacts are

to be made available for use in the Cart and Wagon Shed. It is proposed that the

Cafe part of the development is to be completed and in use before completion of the

Remainder of the facilities. There are still issues about what is to happen to the roof

Lines of the building because these have to remain visible as this is the reason for the

Listing and is apparently the only remaining cast iron type of this structure left in the

Country. At present there are no definite plans.

4. S 106 Handover - Fowler and Spenceley have been engaged by Avant Homes as

Company Secretary. They have authorised the cut back of greenery on Parade Walk

and repairs to the Boat House. On the actual S 106 handover there has been no progress

whatsoever.

5. Fowler and Spenceley Report - The annual tree survey is to take place in the next few weeks

and the next walkabout to review the Landscaping is to take place on the 19th September,

Chris and probably Peter will attend. Two trees need to be removed in St. Georges Lane.

M. Kennedy has raised concerns regarding man hole covers in Parade Walk, Chris has

requested that all the Man hole covers throughout the Garrison be reviewed. Also the

shrubs along Warrior Square, Chapel and Mess Roads need cutting back. The land

in Chesterton and Hale Roads that had some bark laid needs further attention. All the

above were noted; to be attended to.

6. Anti Social Behaviour - There have been some problems, predominately with youths

gathering on the cricket field and leaving considerable litter. Otherwise comparatively

little. The pigeon and fox feeders in the Horseshoe continue to annoy.

Possibly the most annoying anti social behaviour is inconsiderate and dangerous

parking around the Garrison and the seeming increase in the parking of commercial

vehicles, against which there are restrictive covenants throughout the Garrison.

7. Development Plans - various plans for extensions mostly on the rear of properties

one on Warrior Square Road on the side and rear. Garrison Developments are to submit

new Plans for the proposed Development on New Barge Pier Road, yet to be seen.

LIDL to use the roundabout by the school as access to their site.Garrison Church not going

to be used as a retail outlet due to Mr. Homen s new business plans.

A.O.B. - Following the failure of the caretaker opening the school for this meeting as arranged,

Pam is to obtain, in writing, confirmation of the venue for the next committee meeting on

14th October and the Main School Hall for the AGM on Monday 25th November
