10. Correspondence
A card has been received from Beauty and the Beasts for support in raising funds for the marathon.
Pre-school have made a request to a lock for the boiler room door. It was agreed that this should be locked and a key provided at adult height, similarly for the changing room doors.
It was considered a fire risk to provide for a more permanent means of opening the main doors and a wedge would be provided.
There had been a report of children locking themselves in the toilet, however the locks are capable of being opened from the exterior so this should not be an issue.
SH will check whether the recycling bins are to be removed.
