Truleigh Hill Health Walk

Clappers Lane reprofiling reprofiled
MSDC have advised that the large bank outside 5 to 13 Clappers Lane is about to be ‘reprofiled’, i.e., the level reduced to the same height as the footpath and graded down to the road. It will then be turfed. This is because of erosion and earth falling into the road, a problem that I first reported a year ago. The work will start on Monday 2nd November Friday 6th November and last for up to 3 days 5 weekdays. Access to Clappers Lane from the village will be severely limited during working hours between about 8:00am and 4:00pm.

Fireworks
With bonfire night approaching, please be sure to advise your neighbours if you are planning any fireworks – this is especially important if they have pets and/or livestock so that arrangements can be made to ensure the animals are in a safe environment to save them unnecessary distress. This applies at any time of the year, not just the traditional November round of fireworks.
The Parish Council has been advised that an animal needed veterinary treatment following a recent private firework display where the neighbours had not been pre-warned.
