Committee meeting synopsis

Meeting date: 26 September, 2016

• We agreed to add to the website a map showing the location and numbers of all of the public rights of way in Dereham: we have started on this so check again soon to see it.
• We finalised arrangements for the Garden Party and walks on 2 October - perhaps you came?
• We also confirmed all arrangements for the three walks we have entered into the Norfolk Walking Festival (22-30 October): details can be found at: NCC link DEAD.
• We agreed on what we would like to have as ‘Walkers are Welcome’ signs visible alongside all the major roads approaching Dereham. We have discussed these plans with Dereham Town Council’s Heritage and Open Spaces Committee and gained their support in principle. Our next steps are to seek permission from the appropriate authorities, get cost estimates for the signs, then raise the necessary money to pay for them. After that, all we have to do is put them up!
• We reviewed the latest report from the Dereham Town Council Footpath Warden, which showed the amount of work done to keep Dereham’s network of public rights of way in good order. That report can be seen here.
