Issue - meetings

The Forum considered a report by the Director of Highways, Transportation and Waste Management on the current position of the Traffic Regulation Orders programme.  The report was presented by Mr Bradbury with a copy filed with the minutes.

In answer to a question on the Loudon Monument scheme and objections voiced, Mr Bradbury explained that the scheme was part of a programme of work in conjunction with the Ashby partnership.  The informal consultation had been positive.  However, after the recent elections the new Town Council had changed their positive support and, the recent elections, they had voiced objections.  Mr Bradbury went on to say that discussions were ongoing with the Town Council to try to resolve this situation.

Mr Bradbury confirmed works planned for Ashby Wolds including the weight restriction was planned to be undertaken together.

He agreed to speak to Mr Sheahan on two other weight restriction schemes in Moira which were not in the report.

Mr Bradbury also agreed to speak to Mr P A Hyde CC on the 20 mph scheme Ellistown.
