Actions from Full Council
Autocross Euroshel have advised that the installation of the two bus shelters for Linchfield Road, outside Brewton Drive; are expected to take place on the 16th/17th September 2024.
A smiley Speed Indicator Device (SID), has been purchased from Westcotec and is on order. This device is due to be placed along Linchfield Road on one of lamp post numbers 7, 13, 17 or 18; lamp post to be decided.
Councillors considered that purchasing a second bracket would be a good idea, so that this SID could be used in the rotation. This is something that the Clerk can do under delegated powers.
Councillor Stevens attended the meeting.
The Parish Council office received notification of public speaking at the SKDC Planning Committee with reference to planning application S24/0706 – Osier Farm Plot 3. Information was sent from the office to Councillors inviting them to participate. Cllr Shinkins-Hoppe has prepared a statement to be read at the meeting, whereby we continue to object.

The Waymarking project was reported to Recreation, Open Spaces and Events Committee. This waymarking route covers the rural route on the outskirts of the Deepings, providing 20 signposts, 8 benches and some informative posts. A grant has been received from SKDC to pay for this. Councillors have asked for the perch benches considered, to be swapped for benches with backs if possible and this is being looked into by the Neighbourhood Plan Team.
