have continued
to keep the| ||||||area maintained

surveys
on a| ||||||monthly
basis, where conditions
permit,| ||||||of river fly populations
in our stretch of| ||||||the River Waveney. The results are| ||||||submitted
to a countrywide
database and| ||||||used to monitor river health throughout| ||||||the country
in conjunction
with the| ||||||Environment
Agency.| ||||||In addition to the River Fly Surveys our| ||||||continued
Oxygen Level Surveys are| ||||||ongoing
in collaboration
with the EA.We| ||||||carry out a reading once aweek atthree| ||||||points along our stretch ofthe River| ||||||Waveney. This has been invaluable
in| ||||||helping to idenNy
pollution
incidents
on| ||||||the river in the time the monitoring
has| ||||||been in place.| ## |These continue to make sure that any| |---| |river pollution
is caught at an early stage| |and dealt with immediately
in order to| |maintain
a healthy
biodiversity
within the| |river and surrounding
areas. Indirectly| |the health ofthe river and its countryside| |provides awonderful
place for people to| |walk and view the flora and fauna that| |surrounds
them.| |3.Public Areas and Nature Pathways| |Another continuous
task ofcoordination| |ofvolunteers
for clearing and maintaining| |the public areas and pathways
around| |and through
the village, providing
circular| |and cross routes throughout
the area.| |This is achieved
by means of; weekly| |litter picking, grass cutting, hedge| |management,
pathways
maintenance,
etc.| |Again afair amount oftree clearance was| |carried out throughout
the year due to| |storm damage and ongoing safety| |maintenance.| |Protective open fencing ataccess points| |to permissive
paths and the Pocket Park| |were replaced with recycled plastic| |fencing and posts to ensure the safety of| |visitors tothe open spaces.| |A large amount ofmaintenance
involving| |removal ofold and dangerous
wire| |fencing was completed
throughout
the| |year to further protect our visitors and| |dogs. Also rotting posts were replaced| |where necessary.| |The result ofthis is promoting
a healthy| |lifestyle by means ofunhindered
walking| |and providing a clean and safe place to| |come and relax and enjoy the| |countryside.| |4.Car Park Improvements
