border next to the property hedge on the bowling green and cut all grass within
the rest of the boundary.

fountain up to the warning sign.
Clear undergrowth and mow/strim as practicable to achieve a tidy
appearance.

WHERE STOWEY LANE JOINS THE A39
Strim around the posts to a distance where a mower would be able
to approach to ensure continuity of cut grass.
