CHAIRMAN’S WELCOME The Chairman welcomed Members and officers to the meeting. She explained that Dave Bradbury had retired from the County Council in May, and that his role would in future be undertaken by either Peter Bradshaw or Sue Dann from County Hall. To assist Peter she asked each Member and officer present to introduce themselves. 113. APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE Apologies for absence were received from Cllr B Rhodes CC and Cllr E Holmes BC. 114. URGENT ITEMS Traffic Calming – Thorpe Arnold Cllr P Posnett CC informed the Forum that she had been contacted by a local resident, Ms Minu Khuti, regarding speeding motorists, the narrowness of the footway and the lack of a bus stop on the A607. Ms Khuti, who lives on the bend opposite Lag Lane on the A607 as you travel out of Melton, requested that the matters be brought to the attention of the Forum. Mr Crossland informed the Forum that Ms Khuti has been in contact with officers about these matters for a number of years. He explained that the speed limit at the location is currently 40 mph, and that it is signed appropriately and does not have a bad accident record. Therefore, it does not meet the County Council’s requirements for traffic calming measures. It is accepted however that the footway is narrow as there is a steeply graded earth bank next to it which needs to be dug back. Due to current financial constraints the provision of an additional bus stop along the route cannot be supported. Mr Crossland proposed that he arrange for one of his officers to meet with Ms Khuti on site to explain the situation and answer any further questions that she may have. Cllr Posnett informed Mr Crossland that she would inform Ms Khuti accordingly. RECOMMENDATION The Director of Environment and Transport arranges for an officer to meet Ms Khuti on site to discuss her concerns regarding traffic speeds and other related matters. 4 115. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST There were no declarations of interest. 116. MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING The minutes of the previous meeting held on Tuesday 24th February 2015 were confirmed and signed as a true record of the meeting. In response to a question from Cllr J Wyatt BC regarding the minute for Item ‘101. c) -Pelican Crossings,’ Mr Crossland explained the difference between a Pelican and a Puffin crossing. Cllr P W Chandler BC thanked Mr Crossland for organizing the meeting with Highways England (formerly the Highways Agency), to discuss concerns about signage and other issues on the A52. However, she was disappointed that Highways England was not going to do anything about the vegetation at the side of the carriageway, particularly as he understood that there had recently been a ‘near miss’ accident near to the Bottesford junction. She expressed her concern that the foliage would not be cut back, even though she felt that they were affecting people’s safety – particularly people who have to cross the road to get to the bus stop. She acknowledged that the proposed Sustrans bridge may improve the situation for some residents, but expressed her concern that it would not help residents who have to cross the road to get the bus to Botttesford. She informed the Forum that Bottesford Parish Council is also concerned about speeding motorists and had contacted the Road Safety Partnership to request that speed cameras be installed on the A52. Mr Crossland explained that as the A52 is the responsibility of Highways England, there was very little that the County Council could do. He accepted Highways England’s view that the road is not a very busy road. Nevertheless, as he travels along the A52 on his way to / from work, he will stop on the road to assess the situation. 117. CHAIRMAN’S UPDATE – POLICE RESPONSE ON HGV ENFORCEMENT DUTIES Cllr Posnett reminded Members that at the last meeting Cllr J T Orson CC had asked whether the police would be prepared to put more resources into HGV weight restriction enforcement, if the County Council could find funding for a new Service Level Agreement. Mr Crossland reported that the police had informed the County Council that it would not wish to pursue a Service Level Agreement at this juncture. He explained that the main issue for the Police is its lack of resources. He suggested that if Members wished to pursue the matter further they should contact their MP to request that the matter be de-criminalized and the power of enforcement transferred back to local authorities – either at County or District level. Cllr Orson informed the meeting that he would raise the matter with Mr A Duncan MP. RECOMMENDATION That the update of the Director of Environment and Transport be noted. 118. PRESENTATION OF PETITIONS UNDER STANDING ORDER 36 There were no current outstanding petitions. 5 119. MEDIUM TERM FINANCIAL STRATEGY (MTFS) – IMPLICATIONS FOR HIGHWAYS AND TRANSPORTATION SERVICES The Forum considered a report by the Director of Environment and Transport on the County Council’s Medium Term Financial Strategy and the implications for Highways and Transportation Services. The report was introduced by Mr Crossland with a copy filed with the minutes. Mr Crossland updated Members on the situation following the adoption of the MTFS in February 2015. This mirrored the report that he had submitted to the Forum last year. He stressed that the Department’s strategy for the next four years will be to ensure that it continues to make the best use of the existing road network and maintenance will be prioritised over improvements. The report outlines how savings will be made. Where appropriate, the Department will also work closely with other parties to generate additional income for the benefit of the public services. Mr Crossland explained that the community concerns that have been brought to the Forum in the past will no longer be able to be agreed unless it can be demonstrated clearly that they will have a wider economic development or housing benefit. Mr Crossland informed the Forum that he will be taking a report to the County Council’s Cabinet in October on the lessons learnt from the grass cutting operations this season. Cllr Wyatt raised his concerns about the standard of grass cutting on Edendale Road, near to the B&Q store. He reported that the grass had only received its second cut the week before the meeting, and that it had not been cut to a very high standard. Mr Crossland apologized for this and informed Members that he would arrange for the matter to be investigated. Nevertheless, he asked Members not to blame the operatives as they had carried out the work as instructed and that quality issues were due to the system and reduced frequency which were not the operatives fault. He assured Members that the lessons learnt from this year’s grass cutting cycle will be fed into the Cabinet report, and that any improvements identified are implemented next year. In the meantime he will ensure that details of the next scheduled cuts are sent to all Members of the Forum. Cllr Orson commented that he did not consider that it is fair that the County Council has a statutory duty to offer advice free of charge to the District Councils on planning enquiries. He therefore asked if there was any way in which the Government could be lobbied to introduce a fairer system. Mr Crossland agreed to look into the matter.
