The drainage system work will start soon. The council is making up Sandringham Road and will place a lamp outside the church (at no cost to us!). Fr Flynn has secured a promise for a Catholic burial ground in the new cemetery - a consecration will be required when they get started on that.

Southwold Council will not meet for some time - the town clerk assures Fr Mason that they will not press for the road charges whilst they wait for an exemption based on erection of Church and Presbytery in the site.

Is it better to pay the sum in toto as the other side of the plot may be converted to a road and that will cost three times? Perhaps need to erect a temporary place of worship on the site.

Discussions with the Clerk of Hunstanton UDC regarding Notice served for payment/contribution to road to be constructed by Hunstanton property. 160 feet to be made up at 23/10.5 per foot - total cost to Diocese 190.16.0.
