114.22  To consider feedback from a meeting with Local Highways Manager Boston & South.
An appendix was circulated before the meeting advising of the tour of problem areas involving Highways around Deeping St James, that was completed with Local Highways Manager (Boston and South), other Highways representatives and District/County and Parish Councillor Dilks and Parish Councillor Shinkins-Hoppe.
One specific area that was discussed was the bend along Church Street, near the new development and the Waterton Arms.  The Local Highways Manager has put forward a proposal to help reduce the speed of traffic along the street and reduce the number of accidents.
The proposal involves giving a right of way to traffic coming from the Cross in the direction of the Bell Bridge.  It was proposed that the curb be extended to the centre of the road, creating an ‘island’, on the development side, so that traffic can only move in single file around the bend, as seen in places like Maxey, Glinton and outside Market Deepings St Guthlac Church.  Signage is to be placed from Hereward Way advising of the traffic calming measures.  The Committee RECOMMEND the proposal to Full Council for approval.

115.22  To consider feedback from a meeting with the SKDC Director of Growth and Culture and the SKDC Assistant Director of Planning.
An appendix was provided offering information about a meeting held between the SKDC representatives and members of the Neighbourhood Plan Team.  The meeting was short and positive offering an opportunity to develop communication.  The new Assistant Director of Planning for SKDC, has a broad range of duties and wishes to make changes to pre-planning applications.
Discussion was had pertaining to relevant developments and projects discussing progress and difficulties with reference to the Lidl Application, Allison Homes, Bidwell’s, Aldi/New River REIT proposal and the proposal for 160 homes at Deeping Gate.
