Minutes:

The meeting received the notes from the Darton East Ward Alliance held on 10th March 2020; Darton West Ward Alliance held on 4th March 2020; Old Town Ward Alliance held on 10th March 2020; and St Helen's Ward Alliance held on 14th April 2020.  It was reported that Ward Alliances are starting to meet again by virtual means. 

 

Darton East Ward Alliance decided to proceed with hanging baskets in the area to provide colour and it was noted that a number of local sponsors had offset the cost of these.  Grab bags will be delivered from next week as part of the Healthy Holidays initiative.  Work continues on establishing what is needed in the area, and applications may be brought to the next meeting. 

 

St Helens also went ahead with hanging baskets.  Ad Astra had also provided grab bags.  The vulnerable mens’ group is hoping to start up again soon.  As they meet in a large hall, it will be possible to socially distance.  The summer gala had been cancelled, which was a big disappointment. Discussions have taken place about Christmas.  

 

Darton West Ward Alliance met last week.  Funding for defibrillators was previously approved and they have now been delivered and are awaiting installation.  Improvements to Darton Park are now in evidence, which will help with physical and mental health. 

 

Old Town has an ongoing programme of projects to finance as soon as a   meeting is arranged.  Cllr Pickering has managed to secure funding for Christmas trees. 

 

RESOLVED that the notes of the respective Ward Alliances be noted.
