Protecting Gosden Common Question Title * 1. For years we have had wooden posts in place from Tannery Lane to the Pavilion to protect Gosden Common from unauthorised vehicular access. These posts need to be replaced regularly because they rot at the base and become insecure. We could replace the wooden posts at a cost of £4,500 (the second option below), but this would not be a permanent solution. We think a longer-term solution is necessary both financially and for the security of the Common. Which of the following options would you prefer. All options would provide suitable access to the common A ditch and a bund (compacted ridge of earth similar to those at, eg, Shalford) planted with wild flowers at a cost of approx £2300. This option could be funded this financial year and carried out by the end of 2022. replace wooden posts (and accept regular need to replace them) at a cost of c. £4,500. This option would have to wait until the next financial year ie 2023/2024. Concrete posts to replace existing wooden posts at a cost of approx £6000. This option would have to wait until the next financial year ie 2023/2024. Concrete and metal fence at a cost of approx £6200. This option would have to wait until the next financial year ie 2023/2024. Other Question Title * 2. Any other comments Done
