                      (a) Fen Lane

                         There had been no response from Highways. Still waiting for an outcome.

It was agreed that this should be reported to see if it could get cleared away.

                     (b)  Bus Shelter  Middle Street

                          Cllr North  confirmed that Highways had condemned the bus shelter. It was fully discussed as to whether the Parish Council could offer a solution to keep it or the stone. With great reluctance it was understood that the cost of repair and subsequent maintenance would be too expensive. Further, the Parish Council do not own any land to use for any replacement structure. Therefore it was agreed that Highways would have to proceed.

                    (c)  Water on Manor Lane                       

                          Despite request neither Anglian Water or Environmental Health had resolved the problem. Cllr Williams had not been able to get any of the agencies to provide a solution. Agreed Clerk to contact Richard Fenwick..
