_________________________________________________________________________

OPEN FORUM – Martin Coker spoke from the public gallery regarding item 8 on the Full Council agenda – the trees on the playing field at Cookham Rise Primary School. He advised that the letter from RBWM’s tree officer only implicated the beech (T5) as being too close to the sewers. Gaynor Sproules of the Governors then spoke to remind the Parish Council that the trees were a gift from Michael Shanly. She said that the school would pay for any planting or relocation of the Oak or the Beech mentioned on the tree officer’s report as long as they were the trees that the school had planted last year.
