The footpath is the responsibility of Highways at Norfolk County Council, and the overgrown verges are the responsibility of landowners.
As far as I am aware, there are only four parish councillors rather than seven currently on the council, so it's not surprising that things are deferred. It's a pity that more residents from the three villages can't come forward and sit on the community council rather than wait for the next election.
Like others, I think that some of the tax payers money should be spent on projects to benefit the community. I hope the money is earning good interest sitting in the bank.

I think you would happily get plenty of people coming forward to sit on the council if the (..edited..) one stepped down. Look at the history of all the resignations all due to one person....!
Who is responsible for contacting the highways dept ? I would suggest the community council as they are surposed to be the body of people representing the villages !!
Despite the issues, I'm very glad and thankful that we have our own parish/community council, represented by residents rather than being organised under Wymondham Town Council as before. As part of WTC, we had a much higher council tax precept, which was mainly spent on Wymondham town and very little spent on us. Decisions affecting Spooner Row were made by a town council where the majority of councillors didn't live near here. We are still better off with our own community council, even if it is short on serving members.
