Pump Track - APC had been successful in applying for an ADC Shared Prosperity Fund grant for a new Pump Track and additional benches in Mayflower Park. APC will need to fund some of the project and the Clerk explained where this would come from within the budget. Work needs to be completed by the end of March 2025 so a contractor will need to be appointed ASAP.
Sports Hub at Decoy Drive - The Chair reported that she and the Clerk had met with officers from ADC and members of ASRA re the proposed new Sports Hub. The next steps were discussed and it had been suggested that the start date for the project would be in the spring of 2026 (this is subject to planning/funding agreement).
Roundstone Crossing - APC had been invited to attend a meeting at East Preston Parish Council (EPPC) office along with Kingston Parish Council to discuss the issues being faced as the Roundstone train crossing gatesin East Preston. A traffic survey that was originally undertaken in 2015 has been recommissioned as complaints about the time taking to cross the railway have dramatically risen.
Station Road - County Cllr. Urquhart said "that while traveling down Station Road she had some concerns over the trees lining the road especially after Storm Bert. She reported her concerns, the trees were looked at and some non-urgent remedial work is needed. The trees would be reviewed again in 2025".
Bike Track/Play Road for toddlers at Mayflower Park - The Chair talked through the supporting paper and reconfirmed the amount of the grant that will be received for this project. She also confirmed the monies needed to be put in by APC would mainly come from a current budget line and the remainder from EMR. The feedback from an ongoing survey had shown that facilities for younger children should be added to Mayflower Park. The proposed track would be suitable for younger children and would be a great stepping stone to the BMX Track and Skate Bowl. Final drawings will be shared with everyone and information put out on our social media when the design has been confirmed and the start date known. After a short discussion the following was agreed: RESOLUTION: Cllr. Want PROPOSED to go ahead with the project and to spend the remainder of this years budget line for Mayflower Park with the balance coming from the EMR for Mayflower Park. Cllr. Evans SECONDED and ALL AGREED.
