Chairman’s Report The Chairman’s report (copy attached) highlighted a number of highway issues in the Parish, particularly the ongoing efforts to secure a 20 mph speed limit on Main Street and drainage problems on Follifoot Lane. He noted that the Parish Council was continuing to carry out grass cutting in the villages to ensure a satisfactory standard and that a fund had been set up to ensure that monies would be available to resurface the tennis courts when necessary. He also reported on the presentation to the village postman, the success of the tennis coaching scheme and the setting up of a village web site. 2. Questions from the Public (a) Funding of Traffic Calming measures at Barrowby Lane/Swindon Lane – Mr Nuttall enquired about the position in regards to this scheme. It was stated that monies were available, but a scheme had not yet been designed and it may be necessary to use these funds for drainage works on Follifoot Lane. Mr Nuttall believed the County Council should fund this work and the Chairman agreed to take up this issue with County Officers. (b) St Helen’s Well – There was a lengthy discussion about the use of the area for parking and the Council’s ownership and rights. It was agreed that the agreement did need some amendment and that the Chairman and Clerk should discuss the matter with Mr M Goodwin before an item was placed on the agenda of the next Council Meeting. (c) Bus Shelter – Mr Nuttall noted that the agreement between the original owner of the site and the Council required lighting to be provided during the hours of darkness. There was again a lengthy discussion as to the benefits and disadvantages of providing a light in the shelter. The Chairman had spoken to the current owner, Mr Johnson about the matter and it was agreed that an item be placed on the next Council agenda to resolve the issue. At the end of questions the Chairman thanked attendees and closed the meeting.
