Oval sale queried

A DECISION about the sale of the Willow Court oval at New Norfolk would be made soon, Mayor Martyn Evans said at last week's Derwent Valley Council meeting. The mayor was responding to a public question from New Norfolk resident Len Butterworth, who asked what process would be followed now that the sale of the oval had "fallen through". Councillor Evans sidestepped the issue of the status of the proposed sale of the oval and said the "oval contract" would be dealt with following the completion of a report by Malcolm McDonald. General manager Stephen Mackey said the report was due by Christmas Eve.
