MINUTES OF THE MEETING HELD ON 1st DECEMBER 2009
These minutes had been circulated along with the agenda for this meeting. It was proposed by Councillor Hatton, seconded by Councillor Foord that these minutes be accepted as being a true record. They were duly signed.
MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES
a) Water Side Drain – The drain has now been cleaned out apart from an area in front of Havendale. Ancholme Internal Drainage Board will be asked why.
b) Trees behind the seat at the A1077 junction – Mr Bob Dowson had said that he has not forgotten the request and the trees will be ordered and planted during the winter months.
c) Scoping Report on Winterton Wind Farm proposal – No new information
d) Fire Hydrant on Ferriby Road – A gentleman from Anglian Water rang to explain that there is a fire hydrant adjacent to the Chicken Farm. This is clearly marked and is maintained regularly by the fire brigade (as are all fire hydrants). It is not known why the fire brigade choose not to use this hydrant when Mr Duck’s Barn was on fire but even if they had used it, it was not felt that it would have altered the outcome as the barn was well on fire when the brigade arrived.
FINANCIAL MATTERS
The reports prepared by the Clerk were presented and the Councillors agreed on payments to be made.
At the December meeting it had been agreed that the Precept for 2010/11 should be set at £12,500. North Lincolnshire Council have been informed of this.
HIGHWAY MATTERS
a) Road surface on Ferry Lane – Nothing new to report.
b) Ledge in front of No 1 Mere Cottages – a slope has been constructed between the edge of the road and the drive.
c) Holes in road surfaces –The large hole down Low Burgage has been repaired..
d) Composition Corner Warning sign – to be replaced
e) Trees at Town End Farm – As it is autumn the trees no longer obscure the 30 mph sign but this will be brought to the attention of Highways yet again..
f) Town End Junction and Speed calming measures on Cliff Road - Letter had been received from Roy Hindmarsh of the Safer Roads Team. The traffic on Cliff Road will be monitored for a seven day period to measure traffic flow and vehicle speeds. It will probably be the New Year before this is done but then the results will be collated and it will then be assessed to see if the location falls within the Speed Management Strategy. Once this has been done then the team will look at the junction layout.
A reply had also been received from Steve Harrison of the Traffic Team to say that they would be assessing the situation.
g) Councillor Foord reported that Highways Dept has decided that nothing will be done about erecting signs re. heavy goods vehicles in the centre of the village. It was felt that these signs would be too large and intrusive.
New Highway Matters
Following a request by Nigel Ogg the Clerk had asked for a pile of salt at the junction of Hewde Lane and Cliff Road. None had been delivered. The Clerk will repeat this request and also investigate the possibility of a salt bin being sited at this junction.
