Case Study
Tools and Equipment – Clayhidon Parish Council
Clayhidon Parish Council received funding over two financial years through the Highway Maintenance Community Enhancement Fund (HMCEF).

The attached photos show the installation of a new drainage pipe to help the flow of water in an area that was previously prone to flooding.
