Present: – See 2016 AGM minutes
A number of routes and issues were discussed in the area. It was agreed that due to limited funds we would need to see what the council are prepared/able to provide and then this would set what projects we are able to take on and how much additional funding we will need to obtain to tackle priority projects.
Chris gave feedback from a presentation and funding request he made to Hopton Wafers Parish Council. This was for a project to make improvements to route K (Nunnery Lane leading from Stockhall Lane onto Common). The council were concerned that the major benefisiciaries would be livery and riding schools and these should make a contribution to the project. Chris did explain that there were now no riding schools in the immediate area (The Mounts has long closed). The council agreed to consider a grant of £100 towards a specific project in the parish.
It was agreed that all should make a careful note of any issues they find before the next meeting and we would then work out the materials needed and formally write to the Council listing the issues and materials needed. It is hoped that, by putting this in a consolidated list in a written letter and formally signed by the group, the council will respond quickly and positively.
ACTION: ALL to spend time before next meeting making a detailed note of any issues they see and ideas they may have for improvements.
Note – anyone using route F to look at gateway onto Common from Crammer Gutter field and consider option to re-hang gate onto other side of clapper post so it opens further away from stream.
Next Meeting
