P&HC May 2022 Minutes

Market Deeping Town Council – Planning and Highways Committee

Minutes of a meeting of Market Deeping Town Council’s Planning and Highways Committee held on Wednesday 4 May 2022 at 7pm.

Cllr Shelton presided over Cllr Dr Byrd, Cllr Lester, Cllr Brookes and Cllr Davis.

The Deputy Clerk was also in attendance.

A member of the public was also in attendance.

Cllr Lester joined the meeting at 7.05 pm.

Cllr Shelton welcomed everyone to the meeting and invited the member of the public to speak to address the Committee. The member of the public would like to reintroduce the community speed watch, which he would happily manage and source 3 volunteers all of which would require training. The area of particular concern is Godsey Lane and Towngate East. The resident had been in contact with the Lincolnshire Road Safety Team who had provided details of the scheme.

Cllr Davis confirmed that previously there had been a lack of volunteers and therefore the council invested in two inactive speed devices to reduce the speed along Stamford Road and Halfleet.

The resident confirmed he would be happy to co-ordinate the scheme and looks forward to hearing from the council with their thoughts.

Cllr Shelton thanked the resident for attending the meeting and the public session closed at 7.10 pm.

160. Clerk’s Report

Installation of a Covered Bus Shelter on Peterborough Road – Awaiting confirmation from Externiture that the new quote will be held until planning permission had been received.

Update: Bus Shelter located outside the Health Centre opposite Lancaster Way was not included in the shelter refurbishment as it was primarily used as a setting down stop. Having contacted Delaine they have confirmed that approximately 20-25 students on school days catch the bus at 0806 302 towards Bourne, and no doubt appreciate the shelter on days when the weather is poor. Consideration as to whether the bus shelter should receive repairs due to the rust or removed based on the level of use.

Cllr Shelton agreed to contact Externiture to obtain confirmation that the quote would be held for three months to enable the Council the time to obtain Planning Permission for the bus shelter on Peterborough Road.

Cllr Shelton agreed to contact Delaine to discuss the usage of the bus shelter opposite Lancaster Way. It was proposed by Cllr Davis and seconded by Cllr Lester and RESOLVED unanimously to obtain a quote for the repair works from a local welder and a quote from the company who carried out the recent paint work on the other bus shelters in readiness for a decision to be made on the way forward at the next meeting.
