1378 Minutes of
the Parish Council Meeting of 5th August 2002.
These Minutes were approved.
1379 Matters arising
1377.1 Footpaths
The condition of the verge on the left hand side entrance to Back Lane
(beyond Clandon Manor Supplies, up to footpath 74) was discussed. It will
be reconsidered next year when the gardening contract is re-negotiated.
The bollards at the
entrance to the village off the A246 have yet to be replaced. Action
Cathy
1380 Tunmore Fields
i. Matthew Pitt, who leases the fields from the Council for
the grazing of horses, has asked the Council to consider the erection
of a temporary shelter in the fields. In principle, the Council has no
objection: Mr Pitt was asked to seek advice from the Planning Department
as to what is classed as temporary or needing planning permission. Compost
from the fields will be available to residents of the village, in Spring
2003.
ii. The restoration of the ancient hedgerow across the fields.
It is possible that there would be a grant available for the purchase
of trees for this purpose. The matter will be considered for a project
for Autumn 2003. Action Grant?
iii. The well at the side of these fields. It is believed to be
in the region of 300-400 years old, and possibly 80 feet deep. A decision
whether to restore it or to permanently seal it off will be made at the
next meeting. The manhole cover is cracked, but still considered to be
safe. Action Roger - Grant?

This was discussed at length; the Council could not reach common agreement.

for everyone to air their views. Also, there will be an Open Meeting of
the GBC on 10th October at the Civic Hall, with opportunity for the public
