In attendance:
C Emerson Clerk
PUBLIC QUESTION TIME : D . Jones attending
Cllr North welcomed Mr Jones to the meeting.
Mr Jones raised concerns on the deterioration of the infrastructure of the village. This centred around the state of the road surface on Manor Lane and Fen Lane. The water that was running down Manor Lane and Main Street which had it been icy would have caused a dangerous highway condition. There were blocked drains on Main Street and the street sign for Woodcote Lane was still broken.
Cllr North advised that the Parish Council had been in discussions with the highway authority and West Lindsey District Council for several years on these issues and although intermittent progress had been made, it was not consistent. The Parish Council fully supported the concerns and the pot holes, in particular, on Fen Lane were dangerous. It was agreed to take Mr. Jones’s concerns forward and approach the District and County Council representatives. It was also agreed that the Police would be asked why Burton Village was used as a diversion route. It was also noted that the construction of the property on Main Street was leaving a lot of debris on the footpath and road which would be reported.
