NOTES FROM THE MEETINGS HELD ON 24 and 28 FEBRUARY 2005

FOOTPATHS

The Council agreed to the provision of a waymarker disc to indicate the start of the path from Wick Lane to Lympsham, following representations from a local resident.  The Council had previously decided to oppose the provision of a footpath signpost on account of concern that increased use of the level crossing of the railway line should not be encouraged.   It was noted that repairs had been carried out to two footpath stiles and decided to seek quotations for repairs to another one.

VILLAGE GREEN

It was noted that some grant assistance had been received towards the cost of the proposed hard surfaced pathway between the Green entrance and the vicinity of the slide, and that decisions on further applications for grant were awaited.  It was agreed to proceed with the work once the outcome of those applications was known.

HIGHWAYS

The Council agreed the proposals put forward by Somerset Highways for the imposition of a 30 mph limit round the Church Lane loop and adjoining roads. It also agreed to contact Somerset Highways and the management of Somerset Court about the recent accidents in Harp Road.

POWER SUPPLIES

It was agreed to contact Western Power Distribution to express concern about reports of frequent power supply interruptions in areas of the Village.
