57 REPORTS FROM OUTSIDE BODIES
There was no LCC rep.
Cllr Eyre (ELDC) had little to report, ELDC disposing of a lot of office furniture ready for their move to Horncastle.
58 FOOTPATH
No further update on the footpath, consultations had not gone out yet from LCC.
59 ROAD SAFETY MEASURES.
Clerk read out e mail from LCC Highways which advised that they would not be looking at further protection measures on the Cumberworth Road bend/junction. Members asked if LCC would re-look at erecting shevron or similar barriers on the bend.
Other measures that the Parish Council could consider were re-locating one of the static speed devices and erecting extra yellow “check your speed 30” signs, Clerk to ask for a further supply of these. The Community Speed Watch scheme was another consideration, but this would mean members of the public coming together to be trained to operate equipment and record speed, but in other areas has resulted in abuse to the operators.
