P&HC April 2021 Minutes
Market Deeping Town Council – Planning and Highways Committee
Minutes of a virtual meeting of Market Deeping Town Council’s Planning and Highways Committee held on Wednesday 7 April 2021 at 7pm. Cllr Brookes presided over Cllr Davis, Cllr Dolan, Cllr Hembrow, Cllr Miss Moran, Cllr Mrs Redshaw and Cllr Shelton. The Clerk and Deputy Clerk were also in attendance. Three members of the public were also in attendance.
The Chairman welcomed everyone to the meeting and invited the members of the public to address the Committee. The members of the public raised their concerns that the new owner of Riverside garage may apply to install double yellow lines on Stamford Road, which they strongly oppose and would like assurances that this would not be approved. They highlighted that parking had always been an issue outside their homes but had become more of an issue with people parking their cars outside their homes from early morning until late evening whilst at work or visiting the centre of Market Deeping. Cllr Brookes outlined that to install yellow lines it is a costly process and consultation would take place with nearby residents to seek their views. Cllr Brookes confirmed that should a proposal be put forward the residents would be kept informed.
There being no other business in the open session the meeting commenced at 7.18 pm.
