1. The bid from St Saviours was considered. The quote was gone through to see if we could understand it.
Volunteers have been putting in many hours to clear the gardens.
We agreed to give the £2,000 and they could do what they can for that. Tools, plants weed control products membranes.
The panel will ensure that this is what will be done and the money will be spent. To buy the materials and the work is done when the season permits.
