A member of the public joined the meeting at 7.33pm

 

The first member of the public identified himself as the grass contractor and shared is disappointment from a comment posted by the Chairman on social media.

The Chairman remarked that he was responding to a resident’s comment and was disappointed and concerned see their comment of displeasure regarding the grass cutting. He went to investigate and found that there was no issue and grass had been cut and cleared up. The grass cutter also raised awareness that due to the weather and the rate that the grass is growing, if feasible it would be beneficial to have a few extra cuts to get on top of the grass. He advised that other parish council budget for extra cuts as and when needed dependent on the weather and growth of the grass to enable to keep the grass well maintained and manageable.

Cllr Butroid joined the meeting at 7.34pm

The Chairman advised the grass cutter to stick with the contract for now and the council will discuss the feasibility of a few extra cuts as an agenda item at the next meeting. It may be a case to budget differently next year to be able to accommodate flexible cuts as and when needed.

The clerk highlighted an issue raised by a resident on Saxilby Road who had their verge missed. The contractor stated that sometimes residents have cut their own verge and in particular areas residents have approached him saying they would prefer to maintain and keep their verge presentable. The Clerk suggested the contractor sticks to the grass specification of cutting verges whether they look to have been recently cut or not unless prior agreement with a resident just to cover all basis.

The Chairman assured the grass contractor that every year the grass specification needs some tweaking to enable the best cut to keep the village looking presentable. The council are more than aware of how the recent weather has affected the rate the grass has been growing and understands the implications this has had. He thanked the grass contractor for raising the concern. The grass cutter added that when completing the job they cut from one end of the village to the other and clean up follows.

 

At 7.40pm the second member of public spoke on behalf of the shop owner. She questioned whether access to the driveway of the shop and nearby houses that share the access had been considered during the planning process of the puffin crossing. The driveway offers disabled access to residents with mobility aids and children park their scooters/bikes whilst accessing the shop.

At 7.41pm Cllr Butroid stated that all aspects relating to the installation would have been analysed during the survey.

The next question raised was to whether guard rails are to be installed around the puffin crossing and what would the span of the guard rails be.

At 7.42pm Cllr Butroid stated that guard rails have not been discussed at any point as part of this design, but he will clarify with LCC.

The member of public then questioned the zig zag lines and are they to be positioned as per the drawing or is it indicative.

Cllr Butroid highlighted that the drawing in the public domain is taken from a CAD drawing which is why it is scaled and classed as indicative due to the scaling down. However, the zig zag lines will remain the standard length.

The member of public stated that on one network site it states that major crossing works will start on the 2/9/24. This website was last updated on 20/03/24 which was 3 weeks prior to the hearing where the puffin crossing was passed.

Cllr Butroid suggested that the date may have been provisionally scheduled in with the initial consultation. The date does not coincide with information he has received which is at least a month later.

Lastly the member of public asked when the shop owner could expect to receive a reply from the letter sent via e-mail.

The Chairman stated that the letter was circulated by the clerk electronically and has been acted on by adding an agenda item 26 to discuss the needs of the village in regard to vehicle parking and the relevant issues addressed within this agenda item along with the additional e-mail of restrictive signage to be included. The resident thanked the Council and Cllr Butroid for their comments.

 

At 7.45pm a resident thanked the Parish Council and Cllr Butroid for the re-surfacing of Queensway. He stated it has made a big difference, but he was not too impressed with the standard of work and hopes that it lasts. He then questioned when the footpaths will be re-surfaced.

Cllr Butroid stated that the works are carried out by different companies, with different team and different tasks. As soon as he is informed, he will report back to council.

The resident then queried Cllr Butroid about current parking for the council houses on the left-hand side on Saxilby Road before turning into Queensway. The are huge dents in the ground where the cars have been parked and residents have been choosing to park on the other side of the road. Prior to the new buildings on Queensway there were garages available. He suggested an underlay in which the grass can grow through to offer a harder standing area to park. He questioned why the council cannot provide car parking spaces, but they can provide the bollards around the junction.

 

Cllr Butroid responded to the resident that and acknowledged that parking is a serious problem, and he will explore options again. LCC provide the bollards to enable a view at the junctions and to deter parking on them as this has happened in the past.

 

At 7.50pm a representative from the youth club wished to speak regarding an update from the youth club. He stated that since the passing of former Chairman Marcus, policies, procedures and training renewals have been locked on a computer that they have been unable to gain access to. It was decided to close the youth club temporarily to give us time to get everything up to date. We have had to update policies, procedures, risk assessments and training. We have now been re-opened a couple of months and numbers on a Friday evening are in the late 20’s/30’s. We are in the process of renegotiating the lease with Lincoln County Council, this is just a formality of time scale of the lease and cost. We have a trip to Alton Towers booked which we are very excited about and other activities in the pipeline. We would still be very grateful to receive the grant from the Parish Council to enable us to carry out activities we have planned.

 

The Chairman responded that it was encouraging to hear that the Youth Club has reopened like you have never been away.
