Reading Room This building owned by the Parish Council has been re-furbished and an office included for the Parish Council.

Street Lighting It has been decided to replace all the street lamps with led lanterns over a period of five years with six per year being fitted. The first six have been replaced and are in the Top Common area with one at the top end of Broomhill. This is at a cost of £1650.00 initially. The next six four of which are in East Runton as they are obsolete and two are in West Runton. This will be done within the next three months at a cost this year of £1850.00.
Highways: The footpath between the Runton villages will be cleared and tidied at the end of the summer season.
Commons Work is continuing with the commons conservation work. The borehole is still being monitored and there is a slight trickle to the pond since it has been switched off. However it is not enough to sustain levels during dry periods. East Runton common now has the completed path constructed across the common from the pond at Lower Common to the St. Andrews church. This has allowed people to safely negotiate the curve in the road by Incleborough House instead of having to walk in the road if cars are parked. Posts have been placed around the corner and along the side of the common to hopefully stop cars parking in that area. The path has a light sandy finish to it and is already being dubbed "the yellow brick road".
