Agenda item 3. Item Haines Park area: 

Mr Dare made the committee aware of the fact that the area was often used from early morning to late at night.
The noise is very unpleasant and precludes Mr Dare and other residents from sitting in, and enjoying their gardens. 
In particular Mr Dare was concerned with regard the mix of dogs and children who cause problems in the area. 
After discussion with Councillor Meikle it was agreed that Steve would talk to Steve Cuthill of the Parks Department to ascertain
if there is anything we can do to help with this. AP Steve 

The Easter event was discussed and was considered to be a success It was thought that a summer event would be a good idea. 
Councillor Mekile agreed to attend if he is available.            

Steve asked for ideas regarding what should take place at the event. AP. All Agenda Item 4. Parking on Wilton Lands. 

The committee were grateful for the Flower Show organisers withdrawing their proposal for parking at Wilton Lands during the Flower 
Show. There were however ongoing concerns that the area is used at all for parking by both the Bowls and Golf Clubs. 

It was suggested that a letter should be sent to the Flower Show Committee to thank them for there support of the concerns raised. 

Councillor Meikle was not against the parking arrangements given the limited number of days the area is used for parking. 
However he offerd to put forward our views but it would be more in a delegate capacity rather than a representitive. 

Agenda item 5. Barnardos 

Concerns were raised regarding the fact that objections to the access to the new site were not processed from 
Taunton Deane to Somerset County Council. AP Steve or John Blackmore to write to the Head of the District Council Tom Noall. 

Agenda Item 6 AOB. 

Crossing on Trull Road Councillor Meikle advised that the prospect of a crossing near Mount Nebo was unlikely to be provided because 
previous investigations by the police have revealed that the traffic sight lines are not good enough to comply with safety requirements. 
AP It was suggested at the meeting that we involve Stephen Martin Scott. 

Sherford Road            

Councellor Meikle raised the condition of Sherford Road as an issue that has been brought to his attention. He asked if the association
 would raisethis with the highways. 

AP Alan S to ask Ian Titcombe to ring Steve.

funding for the summer event. AP Steve .
