Matters
Arising
- Telephone Box Refurbishment Invoice – a letter was read out
from the contractor who refurbished the telephone box explaining the extra
work involved in the project. He is
to be asked to submit a new invoice.
- Bus Shelter – the PC agreed unanimously to purchase two cork
boards for the bus shelter.
- Recreation Ground Fence – a quotation for the work is still
awaited from a Southwell company.
Other reputable companies are still being sought to quote for the
work.
- A617 Kirklington Road junction – Cllr Stewart had sent an e-mail copy from NCC
Highways Dept saying that the overgrown vegetation in this area was about
to be cut back.
- Green Lane
towards Bilsthorpe – Mr Brozyna questioned the ownership of this land
where the trees are about to be cut back by West Coast Network
Services. Mrs Curry suggested Mr
Catchpole (Trees Officer NSDC) be asked for advice re trees requested in
return for those cut down.
- PO in Cator Hall - Mr Brown reported that this will not now be
taking place as the Post Office are unable to find anyone to operate the
service.
- Parish Walkabout – Mrs Curry explained to the PC about our
Highway Liaison Officer, Jo Horton’s recent visit to the village. As a result a NCC Highways Task Force
will spend 2-3 days in Eakring tackling a series of tasks.
- LIS Parking Scheme Triumph Close – the issue of parking on Kirklington Road was raised and the alternative of supplying parking bays on
Triumph Close suggested. Cllr Stewart said that although the LIS deadline
had passed at the end of September if the PC filled in an application form
ASAP he would submit it on behalf of the village.
- Interpretation Board – this is due to be fitted in week
beginning 1st November.
The company fitting it will allow time to try it either side of the
bench so people can gauge the best side for it to be sited.
County/District
Councillors
- Cllr Laughton and Cllr Stewart explained why they supported the
work of Recycling Ollerton and Boughton.
Cllr Stewart said that if the PC were in favour of the scheme being
extended into Eakring, he would give a ‘one off’ grant to help the project
get started. The PC voted
unanimously that the scheme be extended to Eakring.
- The PC discussed with Cllr Laughton the positive aspects to be
gained from talking directly to Mr C Walker, Head of Planning at
NSDC. The PC decided to invite Mr
Walker to the next PC meeting.
- Mr Brozyna pointed out the dangerous nature of the last
junction from Bilsthorpe onto Eakring Road before the A614. This has
a give way marking rather than stop signs.
Cllr Stewart agreed to raise the matter with the NCC Highways Dept.
