The 12 months just gone have been dramatic and challenging.PC activities were outlined in the newsletter distributed at the start of the year.It has been a period of higher-than-normal development applications, worries over heavy rains causing flooding and of course COVID19.We are meeting in the Hall today because government has declined to extend the emergency legislation which allowed us to operate on Zoom.So, meetings will now be held in public in the Hall.PC will continue to use Zoom for informal discussion. The work of our Clerk Wendy has been professional and I would like to record our thanks for her services.During the emergency she worked extra hours without asking for payment and I will be asking the PC to correct that later. I would also like to thank all of our Councillors for the excellent support they have given to the arish and to me and for going the extra mile with parish problems and issues.I hope that this will continue for the next year. We might be a small parish in a rural county, but your PC has worked to meet and sometimes go beyond its duties and responsibilities.If anyone did not get all their hopes and wishes met, I can also say that no one was ignored. |

A member of the public raised concern about the road behind the Village Hall (Hall Lane, Aisby).It was reported that there were a number of potholes and that the road was unsafe.The road has not been resurfaced for approx. 17 years and is in need of maintenance.There was some discussion about if the road was adopted and the Clerk agreed to investigate with LCC Highways. The matter of speeding and any deterrents was discussed and suggestions made regarding speed bumps and painting of SLOW on roads. Cllr Peace reported that speed limits rely on Highways but that we do have some 30mph stickers left if anyone would like some.Cllr Peace requested that this item be placed on the Agenda for the July meeting of the Parish Council.
A member of the public raised concerns and disappointment about the drainage situation at the bottom of Green Lane. (Stoneycroft) This was discussed at a Parish Council meeting on 8 December 2020 Cllr Hill stated at that meeting that LCC Highways would visit.Cllr Peace suggested that this be raised directly with Cllr Hill (LCC) It was noted that there were people on site the previous week. Cllr Peace requested that this be on the Agenda for July Parish Council meeting. |
