The Water leak on the high street came back but was repaired quickly. The ongoing debate regarding Sparepenny Lane North still continues. It was re-surfaced by Highways in 1971. In recent years a resident reported that the verges were being churned up by lorry’s and was informed by an ECC Surveyor that it is ECC responsibility to get it repaired.
