Matters arising

It was agreed that one solution might to be to fill the 'gully' with tarmac or to provide kerbstones (this was not a popular alternative). PC decided to take Steven Hill's advice, which was to leave it and see what developed. Cllr Robinson reported rain water in The Hythe not draining away causing flooding in the road. Cllr Aves had received a quote from Ranald Scott for making a replacement wooden signpost for 'Reach Fen'. This was agreed
