Highways at 6:30 the following Wednesday for all concerned local residents. He urge as many
as could to appear
. Eileen Howard reported Watts Lane had been closed the previous Sunday
without warning or explanation by Anglian Water.

3. Sainsburvs Patrick Purves reported on the hearing the previous Thursday, at which the Metaris
application for a convenience-store or mart had been refused. There was to be a further
hearing on 19th July to set this in stone, with reasons, and Patrick was authorised to write
underlining local residents' and others' unanimous objection, while making it plain to ElDC that
we would not automatically object to a sensible development and would welcome, e.g. starter
homes, a skate-park, or some other amenity with real benefit to the community and the Town.
He was to write to the local papers suggesting people contact us with ideas and views.

4. Street Clean Up -this was in hand with StreetScene, a date of this Sunday had been set and
those parking had been notified in advance of the time -lO.a

problematic because the food festival was on that day, and opportunistic parking was likely to
occur all up Church
