Roger and I had a meeting on site with Mike king, who carried out the latest batch of soil tests. He has confirmed the position of two points where higher than expected Mercury was found. At this level is not a problem, but as a precaution we will not plant edible crops in this area. These points have been clearly marked, so now Debbie and David will be able to complete the plan for orchard tree planting, and mark the positions so the site can be prepared in good time. Grass cutting of paths and the scythed orchard grass is continuing, but because of holidays there will be no cutting done in the last 2 weeks in September, We need some one to do this, so could we have volunteers. Roger has the group cutter, and if you would like to use it please contact Mary 240363, or Roger 241608 by Sunday. There will be a work party on Sunday 26th September. Please contact Debbie for details 241756.

We are proposing a meeting on Thursday 7th October, in the Pub, to discuss next steps. Please let me know if this OK

The contractors have finished most of the first phase of the work, but will be back in mid September to reseed the grass in the seating area, and hopefully install the benches. Any comments etc, please contact me.
