Minutes for October 2001 meeting. The October meeting of the Ashlil Parish Council was held on Tuesday 23rd September 2001 in the Ashill Community Centre. Highways - A water leak and potholes in Cressingham Road were reported. The meeting was informed the Walton Office of Highways is to close. Play Equipment It was agreed to get an estimate for providing a piece of equipment for the younger children. The council felt the resiting of the play equipment as requested at this years AGM was not a good idea and it was decided to keep it all together in the existing position. No reply had been received from Sport England regarding the possibilities of a grant for resurfacing the tennis court, and also for providing basketball nets etc. Permission was given for a Football Club from the Swaffham area to use the playing field for their matches.

Hr reported the main problem in the area is that there is just not enough police. it was also stated that when a crime is reported the public must be willing to give evidence if a charge is to be made. The Home watch liaison officer Mr Wolk said residents should ring 999 to report Crime and not Thetford Police station. Mr Ian Monson the County Councillor said he thought Ashill will soon be served by the Mobile Police Station which is to be provided in the Watton Area and suggested the Clerk should write requesting that Ashill be one of the villages it will visit.
