1. A resident expressing concern at the noise from the Boundary Club due to more seating being installed in the car park outside, plus the green hedging being removed and replaced with 6-foot fence panels and the installation of an outside light that seems to be like a search light. The noise level has increased both during the day and at weekends, in what is a residential area, since the seating area has been installed. This is in contravention to the title deeds relating to the Boundary Club property. Councillor Stevens did share this with the Planning Enforcement team at South Kesteven District Council

A resident requesting permission to use their personal metal detector in the open space behind the play area off Hereward Way offering assurances that finds are few and far between and not usually deeper than 5 inches and divets would be replaced leaving the area in the same condition as it was found.
3. A representative of the Deeping Bowls Club expressing concern at the ongoing parking issues along the length of Spalding Road especially when there are sporting events being held on the playing field which make entering but more importantly exciting the bowling club parking area very difficult and dangerous.
