General Issues:
Crammer Gutter and Catherton Common – Route F
Complaint received about riders cutting corner at Lower Marshes.
Route across top of Crammer Gutter field Route G very wet.
Gate at top of field difficult. Needs new post and re-hanging.
Gate onto common no longer stays open if pushed fully open. Also would help if had a long reach latch handle.
Broken style dangerous
ACTION: Chris and Pete will clear overhanging branches by Lower MArshes and look at gate hanging and remove broken style (not needed)
ACTION: Chris to discuss route and issues at meeting with SWT on 10th June
ACTION: John to contact Tim to see if we can get some more latch extension kits
Detton- Prescott – Route C
Need to top up stone at Prescott end where we did original drainage work.
Need to cover exposed drainage pipe at Detton end
Overhanging branches need clearing back
ACTION: Review with Tim Simmons and see if we can get some stone supplied.
Cleeton Court – Route N
ACTION: Gill will check and report back on the state of the rutting caused by Quod use.
Callow Lane to Ripplets
2 gates on route need re-hanging. Will probably need new posts
ACTION: John to see if we can get posts from Tim and then agree with landowner (Robert Whiteman) if we can do work on this.
Tangles (Hill Houses lower route) Route M
ACTION: Next time someone in area check on state of route and report back.
Permissive Route behind The Green – J to K
Needs ditch clearing by The Green.
ACTION: Chris to raise with SWT
