It was raised that the public footpath signs are barely visible and one appears to go through a garden. This is correct. There is a definitive footpath map which will be placed in the newsletter and on the website. It was explained that signage is national standard and that the County Council budget for footpaths has been cut has been cut so there is limited maintenance. Councillor Harrison will check with the County Council that the signage is correct. (Added Footpath 56 - B1200 to Willow Row; Footpath 55 - stile)

 

It was raised that there is considerable noise disturbance from drilling at the North End Lane end of the village.
