To receive updates from the Salisbury City Council representative and the Laverstock and Ford Parish Council representative, in addition to other partner agencies.

In the absence of Su Thorpe, Cheryl Hill (Deputy Leader of Salisbury City Council) gave an update on behalf of the City Council:

·         The redevelopment of the Guildhall was progressing well and the hoardings were due up the following week.

·         The recent “Music in the Park” event had been very well attended.

·         Similarly the Armed Forced Day celebrations had been a big success.

·         The Britain in Bloom judging had taken place a fortnight previously, and the results would be available in six weeks’ time.

·         The Hudson’s field project was due to be completed in just over one week.

Liz Dore of Laverstock and Ford Parish Council reported that the Parish Council had purchased a number of biodegradable dog mess bags which were being distributed in a number of ways.  In addition, stickers were being printed for bins to encourage dog owners to clear up after their dogs, although the Parish Council acknowledged that the problem was caused by a small minority of irresponsible dog owners.
