Open Question Time:
It was reported that dumped rubbish, including some asbestos, has still not been removed from the footpath running from Coopers Green to Cage Hill. The Clerk will again contact ECDC to have this removed.
It was suggested that the barrier on Coopers Lane should take the form of a gate rather than just a barrier.
