From Parish Council AGM 2008 minutes

Despite the fact that Mike Bentley the Rural Services Officer missed the first meeting he has now taken on board everything regarding getting the work moving. After a site meeting to establish where the ditches used to be he has liaised with DEFRA to see what work can be done. Mr Bentley has spoken to contractors to tender for doing the ditching work and looking at costings for the posts etc. which hopefully will be erected as soon as possible, onto which temporary fencing will be attached when cattle is put on the ground. Mr Aves from Bressingham is prepared to put some animals on there when the common is made safe. He is concerned about placing a power unit up there but hopefully this can be resolved. The representatives from Bressingham are very helpful. The next meeting is on 23rd March 2009 when looking at funding will be looked at.
