118. Clerk’s Report

Update	Committee response
Interactive Speed Signs - the devices were installed on the 1st February 2022 and the database is due to be installed on the laptop shortly.	Cllr Davis had visited Stamford Road and reported that the speed device was working well and had picked up 75% of motorists who were exceeding the speed limit. Cllr Davis also advised, as agreed by the Committee in March 2021 that the Halfleet device needs to be turned 180 degrees to pick up traffic leaving Market Deeping to slow motorists down prior to the junction of Towngate East.
Bus shelter cleaning has commenced and below is a report from the cleaning company for information and consideration of any actions the committee would like to address. Bus shelters have generally come up well. Most of plastic roof panels have paint smears/spots on them in various places. Shelter no 5 on Halfleet, broken down remains of what he believes was the protective film that was on top of the roof panel during installation. If left too long, the film and adhesive of such films breaks down in sunlight and leaves behind what can be seen on the roof of shelter 5. He believes it must have been like this for years assuming the film was never removed after installation.	The Committee noted the report but agreed no further remedial works would take place at this time.
Poster Policy in the Conservation Area – The Deputy Clerk had researched this matter and as Market Deeping and Stamford are within an Area of Special Control these areas are reviewed periodically by SKDC to ensure that the stricter controls are complied with. The policies for Stamford and Bourne are owned by SKDC. Therefore, any signage of concern should be reported to SKDC Conservation team. Please see below extract from SKDC’s website:- Unregulated display of advertisements can be harmful to the visual amenities of a conservation area. Under the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 2007, certain advertisements are 'permitted' without the need for express consent. In conservation areas certain advertisements on hoardings around building sites and all illuminated advertisements need Advertisement Consent (except for those indicating medical supplies or services). New or altered signage on a listed building will always require Listed Building Consent and may also require Advertisement Consent. The appearance of a listed building can be harmed by inappropriate signage. However, carefully designed signage can enhance a building. Some parts of South Kesteven are designated Areas of Special Control where stricter controls apply for the display of advertisements in the interests of protecting visual amenity. The areas covered by this designation, currently the rural parts of the district and the conservation areas of Stamford and Market Deeping, are reviewed periodically. If you wish to know whether your premises are within an Area of Special Control, please submit an enquiry to our Conservation team.	Cllr Davis suggested that it might be beneficial for the Clerks to write to local businesses making them aware that as they are located in a Conservation Area that advertising and signage must follow stricter controls to protect the visual amenity of Market Deeping.
Covered Bus Shelter on Peterborough Road – As requested by the Committee the Deputy Clerk has contacted SKDC to enquire if planning permission is required and a response is awaited.	Noted.
