Clerk asked Cllr Fitch to follow up a letter she had written to David Brace, Team Leader Traffic Management, about the signage for long vehicles approaching the bottom of Fair Green. In answer to a question Cllr Fitch said gritting is only done in Reach if ice conditions are continuous. Clerk reported that the enhancement scheme to replace the street lights on Fair Green would be started at the end of August with the plan remaining unchanged. Millennium Committee Cllr Aves reported a successful party in the village hall on New Year's Eve. It was agreed that it should be an annual event.
Commemorative mugs are to be distributed to children in the village.
Reach matters Parking on Fair Green Two letters had been written to the village magazine about notes being placed on parked cars on Fair Green. It was decided to put a notice in the magazine to the effect that it is permissible to park on this public highway. It was decided to send letters to residents of The Hythe advising that it is not permissible to park at the side of the road. This causes an obstruction thereby forcing lorries visiting the sewerage works to mount the kerb and destroy the grass verge.
