Action Plan
The appraisal forms have
been analyzed and the report and action plan will be delivered to every
household shortly. The Vice-Chairman thanked all the committee for their
hard work and in particular John Driver who had been the guiding force.
He also thanked Gill Hazelwood at Breckland for her valuable support &
advice, Jenny for her work on the computer and everyone who had taken time
to contribute. Action has already begun in some areas and it will be essential
in securing grants for further action.
AOB
a) The notice boards have
been repaired. The Council is very grateful to Ron Mercer who very generously
donated his time free of charge.
b) Mr. Walton said his son
still had to cross the A1067 at the dangerous bend. The coach had been
requested to go via the Old Fakenham Rd. but had reverted to the old route.
The Clerk will contact the Educational Authority again and make them aware,
as the bus routes are their responsibility.
c) Mr. Walton asked if the
Council had received notification of the work on the gas pipe? The Council
had received no communication but farmers whose land had been affected
were contacted.
