    PCSO Bridges (written report) There had been six calls during the period from 14th May. Including a dog attacking a postman and wood being stolen.

    Dist Cllr. Mike Knowles: – there had been two full council meeting since the election. The Chairman and other officers have been appointed. The financial reserves are in a healthy state.

    1. A148 Lodge Corner.

    All proposed suggestions put forward so far are said by Highways to be impossible to implement.

    This is an exceptional junction as the vehicles visiting Sheringham Park are not included in the figures used to justify the Highways objections.

    A 50mph speed limit should be the primary objective rather than several different proposals.

    Woodland clearance on the West side of the junction has been requested but has not yet been carried out. The verge cutting by the Highways contractor has not been carried out sufficiently well. The view is still obstructed by the overgrown hedgerow.

    Mr. Norman Lamb. M.P. is calling a public meeting on 5th August to try and find a solution.

    D.C. Mike Knowles will liaise with Upper Sheringham parish council
