1.	Apologies for absence: there were no apologies for absence

2. The minutes of the last Parish Meeting held on 9th May 2015 were approved and signed.

3. To discuss any issues raised by residents.

3.1	Pot holes at the entrance to The Street – this has been reported to Highways and on the list for the Highways Rangers visit early in June
3.2	The reinstatement and state of the layby in the field at the entrance to The Street. The resident thought that there had been a lay-by into the field and this allowed cars to pass on the narrow road more easily. It was queried by councillors that there had been an actual lay-by in the field – clerk to investigate
3.3	Lack of bus-stops and bus-shelters: There is no bus stop on the West side of Foxley and on the East side of Foxley the bus-shelter is not positioned where the bus actually stops and is in a poor condition. On the bus from Norwich there have been problems with drivers not knowing where to stop. Residents also noted that where the buses stop at present it is a difficult place to cross as the road is at its widest and it is not easy to see vehicles approaching from the Fakenham direction. There was also discussion about where the bus stop should actually be on the main Fakenham to Norwich Road – at the top of The Street, at the Chapel Road crossing or at the junction with Foxley Road, Bawdeswell.
	Clerk to seek the views of bus users and add this item to the agenda for the July meeting.
