Requests for a crossing had been received from parish councillors and local residents. With an increase in population predicted do we need to wait until the development has been completed before proceeding with the provision of a crossing. Can a survey be undertaken on predicted growth. 106 developer contributions have been used to provide cycleway at this location. 3.7 Increase in school parking following new building and extensions. Some schools have made arrangements with local supermarkets, drop off areas in adjoining streets. Parking will become more difficult, Cllr Kendal keeping working group going on this to secure best utilisation of space for parking. Mark Saunders looking into two areas for safer routes to schools.

4 Agenda items for February area meetings 4.1 KD reported that agenda items would be similar for all three meetings and asked for any suggestions. 4.2 CC – Accident data statistics update – asked if these could include incidents involving cyclists on cycle tracks/shared pavements. KD advised that this type of incident is not recorded by police so unable to give statistics for incidents involving cyclists. KD advised she was working with the Police on project called Steer Clear tackling cycling issues. Other items highlighted;

. Shared space . Old infrastructure – increased pavement size . Cyclists not aware of blind people . Inappropriate speeds . Disregard for other road/path users . Motorist/cyclist conflict

4.3 KD suggested to combine cycling issues with Bikeability presentation for the next round of RSC meeting being held in February.
