Public Forum
1st Member of the Public
After previously consulting with Cllrs Brylewski, Fleetwood and Robinson, the member of the public suggested a regular landlord’s visit to check on the Oasis. Possibly once a year.
The Chairman acknowledged this and agreed with the concept of a meeting.

The Chairman thanked this member of the public for his comments and stated that they would be taken on board.
Committee Meeting
05/20/4 The Oasis/Growing Plot
There was a discussion about the state of the Oasis. Several Councillors expressed their concern regarding sheds, the possible dangerous content of sheds, broken pipes and that the caravan was not in an acceptable position. There was concern regarding the state in which the Oasis would be left in if the tenant had to leave because of any organisational issues due to the current pandemic. The terms of the lease are being broken. It was agreed that a time limit should be placed on the submission of a planning application to West Lindsey District Council.
The Chairman stated that a further meeting would be needed to assess the tidiness of the site and the any portable structures. A further meeting would be needed if the first stage was upheld.
It was agreed that a 30 day deadline letter should be sent to the Worth Foundation because they had not registered a planning application at West Lindsey District Council and that they had broken the terms of their lease.
Proposed: Cllr Burge, Seconded: Cllr Palmer. All in Favour.
It was RESOLVED that a 30 day deadline letter be sent to the Worth Foundation.
