I have removed most of the weed from the beck I should finish it this week. One main area of concern is the build up of silt and weed either side of the bridge near the thatched cottage on Beck Isle. This problem needs addressing or eventually the build up will stop the flow of water. The thatched cottage is one of the most photographed properties in North Yorkshire, when you stand on the bridge to take a photo then look over at the beck it looks a mess. 8 Residents of Sanctuary Housing are complaining about the upkeep of the land around the houses; for instance the grass not being cut etc. They pay an annual service charge for upkeep but little or nothing appears to be carried out. The residents would like the Council to take over the upkeep of the area and would pay the service charge to the Council instead of to Sanctuary Housing. 9 Light in the car park and 7 Aunums close 7 FINANCE 1 Received payment for parking. 2 Expenses for October 3 Insurance Quotation was £805.83 now £765.53 PLEASE NOTE If a Councillor or a member of the public wishes to view any of the documentation included in the above agenda prior to the meeting, to give him or her a better understanding of the agenda items, they are welcome to do so.
