Public Open Forum – There was 5 members of the public present. The following issues were raised:
HGVs destroying the verge by Walleys Quarry, while parking up overnight. HA to report to Red Industries. The Clerk will report this to Highways and Cllr Jones.
Odours from the landfill. Residents were encouraged to report it to the Environment Agency helpline 0800 80 70 60 or to email DBroadhurst@redindustries.co.uk and to copy silverdaleparish@hotmail.com in. It was noted that it doesn’t diminish when it rains.
Church Street- A resident requested that action was taken to look at whether it was feasible to have a one way system or other improvements to make the road safer due to the number of accidents/near misses and parking issues following cars/HGVs using it as a rat run to avoid the speed bumps at the top. It was noted that during the recent roadworks, there was a significant improvement while it was one way. This will be forwarded to Cllr Jones for his input and consideration as part of the Divisional Highways programme. There is also an issue with single /double yellow lines on Chapel Street/Church Street which if removed would allow residents to be able to park nearer to their homes. HA to look at providing the Community Speedwatch at that location in the meantime. Residents were also encouraged to report highways issues to highways@staffordshire.gov.uk or 0300 111 8000 or https://apps2.staffordshire.gov.uk/web/reportfault/#divSelectionHeader . Noted that the recent road works had left the road verges in a poor state. Resident to report to Highways with photos, and the Clerk will, plus report to Cllr Jones.
| Ref | Item | Action |
| 284/18 | To approve the Budget for 2019/20 and set the Precept – see Appendix A – Lollipop lady-
– Handyman – Door to Door community transport donation request VAST – It was noted that there had been a Borough wide request, however no detail had been provided despite requesting the information from the Charity regarding local statistics. It was noted that there had been no other comments made regarding the budget. There was concern raised by AS that we should continue to push for the County/Borough to provide the services which they are proposing to cut in the future eg grass cutting, Lollipop patrol etc. It was noted that the litter collector role we are proposing would be an enhancement rather than replacement. It was RESOLVED to raise the precept to £20.95 per annum per Band D council tax property for 2019/20 which will be an annual increase of £2.03 per year – which will raise funds for the Lollipop patrol at Pepper Street and the litter collector post. It was agreed with the proviso that this is reduced if the lollipop service is retained by the County. |
