To report on LCC Highways’ proposals for the new footway/kerb scheme on Hoton Road

LCC Highways department has sent plans to the Parish Council regarding works that are scheduled for the footpaths and kerbs on the grassed area at the bottom of London Lane, and for the footpaths along Hoton Road. The plans are to widen the footpath that runs through the grassed area, to reconstruct the kerb to the side of the green and to reconstruct the footways that run along Hoton Road as far as the pharmacy. The Parish Council has also put in a request to put in a double edge kerb opposite the pharmacy in an attempt to stop vehicles from mounting the kerb. It was agreed that all of the plans would be an improvement to the area.

The Parish Council have met with Martin Suffolk from Brian Mee Associates to go over the finer details which proved to be very positive  and the PC look forward to working with Brian Mee.
