5. Clerk’s Report
|
Installation of a Covered Bus Shelter on Peterborough Road – Planning application has been submitted to SKDC for the erection of the covered bus shelter.
|
|
Bus Shelter located outside the Health Centre opposite Lancaster Way – This shelter 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 or remove based on the level of use.
Update: As requested a welding company was contacted who indicated that the bus shelter would need to be removed from the location and taken to the workshop to carry out the repair work due to health and safety reasons. This would be costly. The company who carried out the recent refurbishment work on the bus shelters has looked at the photos of the shelter and confirmed that the corrosion had penetrated the metal tubular frame, and the corrosion will have occurred within the tube as well. Any work on the outside would not protect the inside. Suggested that they could mechanically fix a support to each leg to provide additional support which would allow the shelter to stay for a while longer. A quote for this work has been requested.
|
|
Bus Shelter Cleaning – The 6 months of cleaning has now come to an end, members to consider if they wish to continue for another 6 months. The cost has been budgeted for in the precept.
|
|
Godsey Lane resident concerned about increased traffic and request for measures to make the area safer.
As requested the Deputy Clerk contacted LCC highways to seek a meeting with the highways team, members of the Planning and Highway Committee along with the resident who raised the concern. LCC replied that Godsey Lane is a Hierarchy 2 Main Distributor route within the town, these routes are of local importance and are intended and expected to handle substantial traffic flows. LCC appreciates that the relocation of the post office may have seen some increase but it is unlikely that this would be significant in relation to the overall traffic that uses this road. The request to meet with a senior highways officer is available if required but LCC does not see that this is an issue that in reality can be addressed. |
Bus Shelter Towngate East opposite Lancaster Way - A discussion took place and after considering the damage caused by the rust it was agreed that the shelter is beyond repair and could become unstable. It was proposed by Cllr Davis and seconded by Cllr Mrs Redshaw and RESOLVED unanimously to remove the bus shelter at this location. The Clerks were requested to contact a local scrap dealer to carry out the removal.
Bus Shelter cleaning - It was agreed to continue with the bus shelter cleaning for a further 6 months on a bi-monthly basis.
Godsey Lane Traffic - The committee considered the response received from LCC highways with regards to Godsey Lane traffic and was content with the response. The Clerks were asked to respond to the resident with LCC’s response.
