Agenda and minutes

The Chairman welcomed all attendees to the meeting and invited Councillors and Officers to introduce themselves.

Apologies for absence received from Councillor Michael Hardware.

Agreed.

None.

Rissa Long reported on the funded projects.

Rissa to send plans for item number four on the funded scheme.

Rissa confirmed that the Fawbert and Barnard scheme would be funded by S106 money and this has been forwarded to the TRO teams to proceed with.

It was agreed that this will be discussed at the next meeting to agree within budget.

Councillor Danny Purton asked who is responsible for approving dropped kerbs as he believes that there isn’t consistency in the process.

Rissa Long to find out and who is responsible and to let Councillor Purton know.

Councillor Tony Edwards raised the roundabout by the bus station. He says that it is an appalling state and is neglected; the lamp post has been knocked down and is an eyesore.

Councillor Tony Edwards raised the issue again with Momples Road and First Avenue. There was a site visit in September 2018. Councillor Edwards claims this is a dangerous spot and there have been several vehicle collisions. Councillor Edwards asked for CCTV to be installed and to view the footage to decide if any improvements can be made. He feels that we cannot wait for the outcome of J7a. Councillor Edwards has a petition for over 200 signatures. He feels that this spot is unacceptable and dangerous and that there will soon be a fatality.

Rissa Long advised that she would speak to Major Schemes to obtain a response.

The date of the next meeting will be 12 January 2021.
