STRAY HORSE, BUNTINGS WOOD UPDATE
The Stray Horse at Buntings Wood has been collected prior to the end of the formal notice period. Thanks must go to members of the local community who did their best to look after it whilst it was on site. The Town Council was also grateful to receive a number of offers from local people to look after the horse. Despite the perception at times of an uncaring society it is pleasing to see that local people are prepared to rally round in these circumstances.
CANAL BRIDGE OPERATIONAL
The Canal footbridge in Hatfield Road is now fully operational. After extensive repair works and a number of “false dawns” works have now been completed and the bridge is fully operational.
Works that have been carried out include:
· Replacement of a wifi communication with a wired connection
· Alteration to the operating system programme
· Repairs and alterations to the operating console
· Repairs to the pedestrian gates (these were sticking causing the system to fuse)
· Replacement of the proximity sensor which had been vandalised (this stops the bridge from swinging too far)
The Council is aware of the inconvenience that the bridge has caused to both pedestrians and boaters. The repairs took much longer than was anticipated as additional problems were identified once certain elements were fixed. However it was felt necessary to carry out a wide range of repairs and alterations to try to reduce the unreliability that has plagued the bridge in the past.

METAL DETECTING
The Council has become aware that people have been metal detecting on Council owned land particularly the Memorial Park and Wyke Gate Park. This has resulted in a number of holes being dug that are a hazard to other users of the facility. No consent has been given or will be given for this activity on any Council owned sites. The digging up of Council owned sites constitutes criminal damage and action will be taken against any individuals who are identified.
