Warden, Mr Gordon Kingston. He reported that he was in the process of surveying
all the paths to see what improvements could be made.
AIRFIELD
The planned development of the Qinetiq, Marshalls and Drummonds land on the

service run by the police which promotes traffic and community safety in local
schools.
