| Public Participation:
There were three members of the public present and one of the issues raised was discussed as part of agenda item 29/17. The second Parishioner raised issues regarding parking in the vicinity of 378 Silverdale Road. White lined parking bays had been installed. However the spaces were too narrow and often meant that driver and passengers alighted into the road. The second issue was that residents in the block were parking their cars in the spaces rather than local residents who lived there. It was agreed that GS and CS would compose a draft letter to post through the door of the block requesting that the marked bays on Silverdale Road were left for the use of local residents. It was also agreed that the Clerk make a request to David Greatbatch in Staffordshire County Council to have the bays widened. The same Parishioner also raised the issue of the offensive smell coming from the Marl Hole landfill. It was requested that the Clerk contact Red to enquire how the smell is to be dealt with; also the Clerk to contact the relevant section in Staffordshire County Council to ascertain what permission had been granted to dispose of what type of waste and has this been adhered to. The third Parishioner enquired whether anything could be done about a huge Ash tree that was becoming a nuisance on the boundary of the allotment site and the golf club. It was located at the back of allotments 18/20. Parishioner to confirm with the Clerk so the Clerk can raise with NBC. |

This agenda item was taken at this point in the meeting so as to enable those present to watch 3 short video clips all taken between 8:10-8:35am during term time opposite the junction of Pepper Street and Scot Hay Road. The videos had been taken by a local resident who was present at the meeting. Many near misses were observed where drivers approaching the roundabout were travelling too fast, cutting straight across the roundabout or negotiating a right turn at the roundabout by cutting in front of it and therefore ending up on the wrong side of the road. All present were concerned that a fatality would occur at the location. It was suggested that the following steps could be taken to address the problems: |
