Highways update

A letter received from a local elector was read out concerning the condition of the road on Stickney Lane, particularly the road between The Bungalow and Silt Pit Farm.

Discussion was had about that matter and the fact that Folly Lane was deteriorating badly as noted by residents on that road.

LCC have commented by letter to the Clerk that the part of Stickney Lane where the verges have visibly narrowed the road is the only part that LCC will commit to fixing by stoning them up. No indication as to when that will be.

The Clerk was instructed to email the local councillors about the highways once more. The Clerk/Chair would update the occupiers of The Bungalow and follow up with LCC regarding the complaint lodged on Fix My Street if required.

The situation at 2 Folly Lane remains unabated however, with an abandoned car and large amounts of waste. Platform Housing have said that they will start a clearance next week.
