135/19 MATTERS ARISING –
Nothing from CPM thinks it may be worth looking into another company. Parking appears to be better now anyway.
136/19 TO DISCUSS UNKNOWN DONOR CHARITY
Standing Orders suspended in order that Sue Thorley from Gosberton Parish Council could comment at meeting. Trustees require a representative from Quadring, Donington and Gosberton, which is what Donington Parish Council has been doing for years, but there should also be administering Trustees and Gosberton Parish Council would like to look into the administration of the Charity. One of the main concerns is that tenants of the allotments were sub letting at a profit, nothing the Parish Council could do anything about without knowing the tenancy agreements. PC agreed to look further into the Charity constitution. Standing orders resumed.
