LCC – County Planning Minerals & Waste Consultation
Letter and petition from local residents concerning speeding vehicles on High Street and requesting a zebra crossing. This was discussed. Cllr Butroid advised that it would be unlikely that a zebra crossing would be created on High Street as it is an A class road. He will ask if the speed camera van can be positioned in the lay by near the shop in the mornings. Enquiries will be made about having more passive speed reminder signs at that end of High Street and the matter will be discussed further at the next meeting.

This has still not been resolved. Cllr Spence will talk to the MP.
