  8. Maintenance
    Paul Luck reported that there will be several major jobs to be done in the next few years on an ageing estate. The priorities for 2025 are to tarmac footpaths that are in need of repair. Paul walked all the paths with Daniel Lake the contractor we have used for other projects, identifying many trip hazards. To cover all the bad areas the cost would be £22,068.00. 1 set of railings at the front of the estate need to be painted. The street lights are over 40 years old, and the light bulbs for them are no longer made. We plan to change the 11 lights to give us better lighting along the roads and tarmac paths on the estate.
