recreation ground to the rear of a property in Cedar Close, load up the
skip and then drive off at speed across the middle of the recreation ground.
Members expressed concern at the danger of vehicles driving over a playing
field and the fact that a letter has already been sent to residents advising

ground, unless prior permission has been obtained from the Council.

Grove, stating that, in the interest of safety to the public, the Council

to be represented at Twinning Association meetings whenever possible,
perhaps on a rota system. It was also suggested that a representative
of the twinning committee be invited to attend parish council meetings
to give a report.
(ii) FOOTBALL TOURNAMENT
The Clerk advised that helpers are desperately needed for the football
tournament on 13th August. The Mayor of Rang-du-Fliers and other Councillors
