Matters arising:
White Lining at Low Hutton – white lining completed by Highways on 4/10/2022. Simon to email Highways to say thank you
Overnight Lorry Parking at Low Lane End – Councillors concerned this is becoming more the normal situation. During the night hours it’s not too much of an issue, but should it happen more frequently or during the day, this needs flagging as a potential issue to the villagers and traffic who use the Low Lane junction. Simon to email Highways informing them of our concerns.
A64 Dual Carriageway Consultation Hopgrove to Barton le Willow – Simon attended the consultation event and gave a brief update of his visit, nothing has been decided and no decision will be made in the near future. Consultation is now closed.
Rural Community Grant (funding for the information boards at both the High and Low village) – deadline is 21st November 2022 with decisions being made 9th February 2023. Simon to action with Clerk support. No formal quotes received, but printed maps approx. £150 each from Rymac. Jem and James to be contacted to look at costs for frames in both wood/stainless steel. Andy to look at sourcing specs for quotes for printing and frames etc to share with James and Jem.
New Matters:
Fracking – After landowner were approached after requests regarding seismic survey taking place 2018. Jem Charles was involved at the time and confirmed the villagers being approached by the PC for their thoughts. This survey of the village was related to the seismic survey within the village boundary and not fracking. The Parish Council have not been approached or are aware of any proposed sites with the Huttons Ambo Parish at this time.
Recruitment to Parish Council – Clerk to put add on facebook and update the village notice boards inviting candidates to apply for the position. Dependent on the numbers applying will determine if the role can be filled by nomination or by election.
Daniel Pickering Autumn Work – Single strip of strimmer work along all kerb edges and overhanging long vegetation. Keep an eye on and cut back line of site at road junctions – Back Lane, High Lane End. Nothing to do over winter to look after the wildflower beds other than what he is doing currently.
