Issue - meetings

To receive an update from the Community Area Manager on local issues.

Karen Linaker, the Amesbury Community Area Manager, introduced the report enclosed at pages 27-28 of the agenda.

At the Chairman’s invitation, Councillor Ian West referred to speeding and congestion issues on the A303 in Winterbourne Stoke, raising a specific request that a speed camera was required on the eastbound side of the road.  These concerns were echoed by other residents of the village.

Inspector Martyn Sweett commented that the police were aware of the issue, and would try to ensure that this was considered as part of the strategy to address the loss of the CSU (see minute 5 above).

It was noted that the road was the responsibility of the Highways Agency and that speed indicator signs could be a possible solution.
