Issue - meetings

Councillor Stuart Wheeler will give an update on the progress made regarding issues which have been raised with the Area Board.

Councillor Stuart Wheeler updated the meeting on the Community Issues which had been received by the Area Board. 

As a results of the Local Transport Funding (LTP) process (item 12 refers), a number of issues would be closed and moved to the LTP list.

Also to be closed were the issues relating to the need for a footpath in Burbage (as a result of a grant at item 6) and another relating to dogs in a children play area, as the Council was now proposing to review and harmonise its arrangements for Dog Control Orders.

A member of Manningford Parish Council expressed concern that an issue was closed which related to rat-running, speeding and HGVs travelling through Manningford.  The Chairman confirmed that Manningford was eligible for Community Speed Watch on one stretch of road.  In addition, “unsuitable for HGVs” signs had been installed on the A345, and a “Lorry Watch” scheme was being developed.  The Chairman asked the local Councillor and Caroline Brailey to investigate the issue and look into why it was closed.
