Appendix 2 - 77.25 To receive reports from the Clerk.

In the January Planning Committee, Councillors agreed to look into sourcing a crime reduction sign and a possibility of placing a Speed Indicator Device in the Thackers Way area temporarily.  The assistant clerk has investigated two companies regarding crime reduction signs; one provides an aluminium sign and the other provides a correx (corrugated plastic) sign.  Please see appendices 3 and 4 detailing materials and costings. 
An email has also been sent to the Lincolnshire Road Safety Partnership regarding permission to place a SID on a lamp post along Thackers Way temporarily.

The assistant clerk has made contact with Lincolnshire County Council again to acquire some small animal signs for Deeping St James.


Appendix 3 and Appendix 4 - Crime Reduction Sign Quotes

Please contact the Parish Council office for information.


Appendix 5 - DNP Update 11.02.25
 
Deepings Neighbourhood Plan - Update report from Cllr Smith ( Vice Chair of the DNP Group).
04.02.2025DNP Meeting due on 03.02.25 cancelled but – for information - ongoing work is focussing on the following key items (this is not a comprehensive list).
 
1. New Retail store near Poundstretcher -MD. It is old news that original permitted proposal is not being proceeded with; this is because as Co-op will not give up their relatively short lease on the present Fuel Station. However, the project has not stopped; Aldi (possible occupier) and New River (site owners) and still discussing a reconfigured retail unit.
2. Deepings Design Code - DSJ &MD / Linchfield Road Masterplan -DSJ. Amendments to first drafts are being held whilst we await awaiting a new draft district-wide Design Code from SKDC.
3. Deepings Housing needs Survey - DSJ & MD. To be circulated to Estate Agents for information. Might need updating given changes in national planning policy for housing.
4. Local Walking and Cycling Plan - DSJ & MD. Consultation has closed. Consultants for the DNP Group, Sustrans, will produce their first draft ideas (‘3 big projects’) at a meeting on 11 Feb. This Committee will be updated tonight.
5. Green Walk Waymarking Project. Work still under way on rural locations for signage.
6. Revised Neighbourhood Plan - DSJ/MD. To ensure the document is up to date and relevant, work will start once the contents of the new draft SKDC district wide Local Plan is known (March 2025?)
