FP was blocked on Melton Day by a lorry and temporary fencing erected to prevent pedestrians gaining access to Play Close from church.  Complained to officials – lorry moved and fencing removed.  Next year, prior to Melton Day, Footpath Secretary to remind officials that advance notice must be given of any intended temporary closure of FP 

G93, Old Dalby to Six Hills – ‘LaFarge’ built on RoW, then diverted it.  New Abattoir being built in that area – no planning permission been seen.  Footpath Secretary has requested fencing blocking FP be removed as there was an unauthorised diversion round it.

Problems encountered at Bouverie Lodge with farm dogs – Several walkers including one Ramblers member bitten.  Please remember that all such instances should be reported to the Footpath Secretary.
