PUBLIC FORUM
There were three members of the public present of which the following questions/short statements were made during the time allocated:
· The headmaster to Frithville Primary School reported that this has been a fantastic year for the school and is proud with the Ofsted reports. The recent Summer Fair raised £800. The school classes will be reduced to two again with a 1:6 ratio of staff to pupil. The main concern is they are still actively looking for new governors.
· There was a concern with the application for the new proposed development on Canister Lane, the entrance to the site could mean that there would be a crossroads from Park View, which feels would be unsafe. Additional to this there was a worry that the drains would need to be filled in which fear of potential flooding of the area.
ELDC Cllr Ashton reported that if LCC Highway felt that there would be a safety issue they would not recommend this application. Additionally, to this the Drainage Board would also comment on this application and their views and advice would seriously be taken.
As LCC/ELDC Cllr Ashton had to leave early his report (Item 5 on the agenda) was brought forward which was as follows:
ELDC
· The Viking Link plans that are currently in process would affect Westville more than Frithville, thereby should not be so apprehensive on the village. Suitable locations with Highways have been agreed in relation for continuation of traffic flow and vehicle movement.
The depth of the line is still being discussed with the Drainage Board. Though the process of this may be a pain whilst being developed, he feels that the progression would be quick.
· There has been a change in the Code of Conduct of which ELDC has recently adopted.
· Planning applications procedures have been tightened in regards to the calling in process.
· A consultation is currently in circulation in regards to Louth Cattle Market.
