i) Fulbeck Parish Council – Summary of Council Activities 2018/2019.
There have been some exciting new developments in Fulbeck over the past year with the completion of some long term projects all of which we hope will enhance the village and make life easier for residents.
- Lime Tree Close Car Park – SKDC agreed to provide further parking facilities for residents after some incidents of emergency vehicles being unable to access the estate because of vehicles parked on verges and pavements. This was done to a high standard, and proved popular with the residents and has eased the parking situation.
- The Sports Field Car Park has also been renovated at a cost of £7800 plus VAT coming to a total of £9360, with contributions from the
Village Hall £5000
Social Club £500
PCC £500
This has greatly improved the surface and appearance of that area.
- New Bus Shelter – this has been sited on the outward wall of the entrance to the Hare and Hounds where the buses have always stopped, and now provides shelter for passengers, and blends in well with the locality. The cost was £2965 plus VAT which came to £3538, which was partly paid for by contributions from different parties
Bob Sampson (Chairman’s Grant) £200
VETO £287.27
LCC £2000
reVOLT £200
- Notice Board – Positioned on the Village Hall, cost £364.80 including adaptions and delivery, with a contribution from reVOLT of £200.
- Playpark Plans are afoot to upgrade the surface of the playpark, and we have been awarded a SKDC Community Grant of £1821.17 with more to come on completion, and working parties are being organised to help with this project.
- In all of these ventures many thanks must be given to our Parish Clerk, Carol Tointon, and the tireless efforts of the Secretary of the Village Hall committee, Iris Morison, both of whom filled out and gathered data for the grant applications, and liaised with contractors, which is no mean task.
- The Precept has been raised to £7,400 without a grant from SKDC this year. This will enable us to cover the cost of additional grass cutting and maintenance which is a result of cut backs in local authority spending.
- There have been a couple of sessions to tidy the churchyard. Many thanks to all the volunteers. Plans are afoot to install a kitchen and WC in the Church, which will greatly increase the uses to which the church can be used in the future.
- Village Fete Another Fete is planned for Sunday 2nd June at The Hall. We will hope for a sunny dry day.
