75. MEMBERS’ REPORTS

 

Councillor Stenson:

 

Problem of noise from weekend campers and visitors at the end of Cadnam Lane.

 

Councillor Moriarty:

 

Arising from the recent National Park Consultative Panel meeting, Catherine Chatters (Hampshire Wildlife Trust invasive plant expert, based at Testwood Lakes), was happy to assist landowners in controlling invasive plants, e.g. New Zealand Pygmy Weed similar to that identified at Splitwind Pond.

 

Cllr Moriarty had raised the question of the Splitwind infestation, but the only feedback from those present was to dig out the soil and dispose of it sensitively.

 

Councillor Lady Kara Hawks:

 

Unable to attend the Remembrance Day service on 8 November – Councillor Stenson to deputise.
