LCC |

Godsey Lane (Roundabout near the Post Office) LCC have informed that they will not be putting in waiting restrictions in this area at the current time as they do not feel it causes any issues at the mini roundabout from cars parking close to the junction to visit the post office. LCC have carried out a number of site visits, including during the school run and there had been no issues identified. |
As requested by the Chair, the Deputy Clerk had contacted the Senior Highways Officer to establish if this was a response to previous communication or whether this is in fact the decision following the meeting held on 2 May with the Senior Highways Officer. The Committee agreed to wait for a response from LCC before considering any further communication. |
