First Time Sewage:  Chapel Road Foxley West
Sarah Cawston of the Environmental Health Department has written to Anglia Water to recommend Foxley be considered for connection to the main sewer. Her investigation found a high water table and many surface ditches in the area polluted with septic tank effluent creating a smell and a health hazard. She is investigating where the contamination is occurring. Anglia Water will be contacted.
Mr. Wharton said that Foxley would not come under ‘First Time’ as there is a sewer in The Street. What had been a drain had been designated a sewer when Anglia Water took over.
Ditches 
Mr. Warren the land drainage officer is arranging for a survey of the ditch upstream towards Foxley Lodge because of flooding.

AOB    a) Bonfires: Parishioners are asked to consider the effect of smoke and smell on their neighbours when they light bonfires. Smoke can be particularly distressing for people suffering from respiratory disorders.
              b) The huge lorries going to Foxley Wood are causing concern. Work will come to a close very shortly and the clerk will discuss the future with Mr. Milton of the Norfolk Naturalist’s Trust.
              c) A drain is blocked by Church Farm. Mr. Fanneran of Highways will be contacted.

Date of next meeting will be Tuesday December 3rd 2002.

Clerk to the Council   Jenny Streatfield ,
