At the last two meetings time was taken up with the maintaining of posts on the Lower Common and the poor quality of grass cutting on the site. Both items have now been corrected. The clerk has been asked to net off the split on the Lower Common for safety reasons until the committee is given advice as to the most effective way of dealing with the problem. The area used to be a water meadow with the quay heading being added later so May Gurney's river experts advice is being sought. Elsewhere a temporary repair has been made to a hole by the footbridge and the Broads Authority did an inspection and repair at the end of May.

The trust was appreciative of Mrs Redstone's offer to repaint seats on the Common and the work she put in to completing this.

Unfortunately cars have been parked on the grass of the Upper Common. This has been amicably dealt with and appears to have been due to misunderstanding.

Transco have been replacing mains on the edge of the Lower Common and owe the trust some back rent. A cheque is due shortly. Eastern Electricity wayleave and Kings Head and Rising Sun Leases are to be followed up by the Chairman.
