Grafton Flyford Gymkhana

It was a beautiful day for a Gymkhana at the crossroads near Libbery on 31st August 2014

The importance of local events like this can't be over-emphasised. They give these villages a sense of place, an opportunity for villagers to meet up and share a cut of tea and a burger whilst watching the children and ponies compete in various competitions. In the afternoon there is a dog show. It is also an important fund-raiser.

The field that this takes place at is about 750m from the F C Jones & Co application site and just over a kilometre from the Edward Davies site. Aside from the issue of odour if there is a cleanout at the site when an event like this takes place, more importantly this lane is the preferred route for routing traffic onto and off the A422.  What are the effects on the amenity of residents if the 3 million chickens per year developments take place?

Here are some pictures from the event.
