5. To discuss a letter from the Parochial Church Council for St Mary the Virgin Holne requesting that the Parish Council agree formally to undertake the upkeep of the Old Churchyard, enabling it then to approach South Hams District Council to do this for the Parish Council. The letter also states that South Hams District Council has indicated that a local contractor would be instructed to do this, should the Parish Council agree to the PCC's request.
6. To discuss a request from Cllr Arrowsmith that the Council reconsider the size of its proposed grant for 2005/6 for the maintenance of Holne Churchyard (agreed as £200 at the December meeting)
7. To discuss a letter from the Secretary of the Village Hall Management Committee asking that the Council consider the problem that the Car Park of the Village Hall is used to a far greater extent by members of the public than it is by users of the Village Hall, and yet the VHMC is responsible for its upkeep.
8. To discuss whether the Council should book the Village Hall for an additional hour in the winter to ensure that the heating is on for long enough for the Hall to reach a temperature of an acceptable level for those attending the meeting (this item is inserted as a result of a complaint by the Clerk to the Booking Officer of the Hall that the heating was not on for the last meeting).
9. To consider whether the Council wishes to write to S Hams DC to urge that it continues its grant to Villages in Action.
10. To discuss a suggestion that the bounds of the Parish be beaten during the year, five years after the last such event in 2000.
