Planning
This month saw no planning application for consideration.
Road Safety
This is the time of year that I receive the most reports regarding a lack of visibility problems due to overhanging hedges and verges, and other encroachment of the highway problems.
All the issues are addressed and where action is possible are passed to the relevant departments at SCC and MSDC in some cases the hedges and trees are the landowners responsibility and they do get notified.
If you have any road safety issues that concern you can report them directly to Suffolk County Council via their website http://www.suffolk.gov.uk/environment-and-transport/highways/ or call them on 0845 606 6171. You are much more likely to receive a direct response this way, of course if you would rather talk to me or one of your councillors we are still more than happy to report issues for you.
Other Business
The finance report for July was approved and various invoices paid. The broken litter bin on the far side of the playingfield will be repaired and the perimeter grass and weed growth around the playingfield will be addressed where possible. Council are happy to work with the Village Hall committee to give the notice boards an overhall.
There is no scheduled meeting for August, any planning applications that come up will be dealt with by a short meeting of the Planning Committee, so the next full council meeting will be held on Monday 15th September 2014 at 7.30pm in the Village Hall and everybody is welcome to come along.
The agenda will be displayed on the notice boards during the preceding week or is available from myself electronically so be sure to take a look in case we will be considering a subject that you have an interest in or a view on, if so please come along.
