1469. Minutes
Draft minutes of the meeting held on Tuesday 16th May 2023 had been circulated prior to the meeting. It was proposed by Cllr Hodgson and seconded by Cllr Spurrier that these be accepted as a true and accurate record. All in favour. Cllr Wilson duly signed the minutes.
1470. Highways
Cllr Ashton had sent through an email advising that each county Councillor has been given an allocation of £100,000 to direct towards works which for one reason or another are not prioritised. He has asked that Sandy Bank rebuilding is prioritised on this basis, which should see work undertaken over the next 12 months. He has had a positive meeting with the local highways officer. He has also asked for further white lines to be painted on the outer edge of the carriageway as a means of both encouraging lower speeds (protection of narrowed highway) and keeping vehicles away from the outer edge of the tarmac which is more liable for breaking up.
Parts of the road near to The Keepers Cottage require repair. The road at Sandy Bank is still very poor although some repairs have been authorised, with further repairs expected later in the year.
The road opposite the Game Keepers Cottage at Tumby has been marked for repair.
The layby at Tumby Swan is not fit for purpose and requires repair.
478.
Concerns were once again expressed about the Gibbet Nook junction. The Keep Clear sign needs repainting. Clarification is required regarding the double white lines going into the garage, does this mean vehicles cannot cross to go into the garage? Cllr Foster will speak with Cllr Ashton regarding the problems at this junction.
