EROSION OF COMMONS Cllr. Euan
Sudbury updated the Council on a product he had been investigating to provide
a green lay-by called Grasscrete. He suggested that an area approximately 1.5
metres wide should be laid with this material, on the same side of the road
as the Village School, the initial distance considered being from the end of
Church Farm to the beginning of Sedgebrook. A map outlining the possible area
was shown to Councillors. Cllr. Sudbury
agreed to get two other quotes and also to pursue the costs of the Grasscrete
solution, including considering the next stretch of road edge from Sedgebrook
to approximately Lime Tree Mews. Cllr. Sudbury also agreed to obtain quotes
for installation and to establish when would be the best time for laying the
surface. Some funding was being set aside from the 2005/6 Precept. Cllr.
Sudbury and the Clerk were asked to investigate possible matched funding from
the Area 3 Committee. It was also
suggested that once this work was completed an undertaking should be sought
from the school to ensure that parents did not park on the opposite side of
the road on Middle Common and also to ensure that the edges were not used as
an all day car park. Cllr. Sudbury agreed to write an initial article for the
Village Magazine. The Clerk was
asked to investigate whether this would affect the current insurance policy. |
