Stoke Ferry garden works underway
WORK on Stoke Ferry's cemetery and garden of remembrance was due to begin yesterday.
Cllr Nicholas-Letch advised the first priority would be to englarge the garden of remembrance as only one space is available.
The size of the plots to be marked out will be 30in square allowing for memorial stones of no more than 24in square.
The three repaired seats will be securely fixed in appropriate positions. A letter of apology will be sent to Thomas Bonnett informing them the seats will now be put in place by the probation service under the direction of Cllr Nicholas-Letch.
At the parish council meeting in the community centre on Wednesday, February 20, it was reported that the pedestrian warning sign along School Lane was still not in place. Cllr Mrs Lansdell-Williams would chase this up.
The litter bin at the corner shop is now being emptied regularly.
Jetting out of the drains on Wretton Road had been carried out but further works were required to remove silt from the pipes.
The next meeting of the Community Action Group will be held at Marham Village Hall on Wednesay, March 26.
Police Community Support Officer Bunting advised he would investigate whether the speed check recently undertaken was a one-off or will be an ongoing operation.
The clerk said consultation letters had been delivered to all properties in Wretton Road regarding numbering, with a request for comments to be received by February 29. Following this a report will be prepared for the next meeting. Cllr Mrs Mann raised the matter of other roads in the village which may wish to be renumbered to avoid confusion. If so, they should contact the clerk.
The road had now been resurfaced in Buckenham Drive. The kerbs have been lowered but the footpaths are still to be tarmaced. The general consensus was the surface did not look very satisfactory. Potholes at the entrance to Buckenham Drive are still to be repaired.
Borough Cllr Sampson had been unable to make contact with the contractors/highways despite many attempts relating to the hammerhead being widened. The clerk will arrange a site meeting as soon as possible with interested parties.
The next local action group meeting will be on Friday.
Cllr Mrs Mendoza informed the meeting that the clothing bank at the school should be finalised shortly, and a suitable position will be organised.
Glenn Watkins, anti-social behaviour co-ordinator from the borough council has had meetings with all bodies concerned who have accepted his proposed idea for a formal signed protocol regarding the care home.
The new bus stops are now in place but still awaiting the sign to be put in place. Cllr Summers informed the meeting they are now in use but some drivers do not seem aware of this. The clerk is to investigate.
The potholes in Lynn Road are programmed to be done in the next few weeks.
A new CCTV camera is to be put in place shortly, arrangements will then be made for the footage to be viewed on a regular basis.
