Both Deeping St James Community Primary School and Linchfield Academy were emailed to see if they are happy to have banners supporting the Road Safety Campaign provided at their schools. Both schools have responded that they would welcome this support and will display the banners. It was agreed that the Assistant Clerk would purchase the banners for the schools.
44.22 To consider supporting the ‘Pass wide and slow’, campaign.
Correspondence was received from a resident, asking for advice on how to inform the Parishioners about how to pass horses and cyclists on the roads. The resident, a member of the Facebook group ‘Pass Wide and Slow’, stated that there were advertising campaigns regarding this. The Clerk asked for posters to be emailed over so that they may be shared in the Parish, however, these are yet to be received. It was discussed that we could supply a banner with the ‘Pass Wide and Slow’ advertising on it and investigate buying some snap on reflectors. The Council agreed to support this campaign.
