Capital Expenditure

As explained in previous newsletters, the Village Association’s focus during 2021 was to replenish the financial reserves and to plan for maintenance and repair work needed in 2022.

For the work in 2022 we will be using the report by local Chartered Surveyors, Fairclough & Dyer who we engaged in 2019/2020 to identify the future maintenance and repair work required. One of the areas identified as requiring maintenance is the footpath around the cricket green which has been damaged as a result of roots from nearby trees. Work is planned to undertake repairs to the footpath in late spring/early summer. Other larger maintenance projects are being considered including repairs to the surface of the car park behind Townhill Medical Practice.

Smaller maintenance projects will also be undertaken during the spring and summer including repair or replacement of bin store doors, maintenance work on a number of timber posts around the development, and replacement of worn signage.

If residents or any of the businesses have views on areas requiring urgent attention, please get in touch via office@thevillageassociation.org.
