Meeting 1st June 2014

Attendees:

See AGM

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
