PL.166/20 TRAFFIC MATTERS The Deputy Clerk had addressed the issues raised at the STC Planning Meetings held on 06/11/19, 18/12/19, 08/01/20 and one outstanding matter from the Planning Meeting of 25/09/19. The information had been circulated to all Cllrs as follows:-

At the STC Planning Meeting on 25th September 2019, it was noted that opposite the Selsey RBL Club a school crossing patrol sign was facing the wrong way. STC have received notification WSCC Highways that the sign would be removed. At the STC Planning meeting on 18th December 2019 questions were raised regarding the traffic lights at Warner’s Yard. WSCC Highways confirmed it was their intention to visit the site during the summer to assess the optimism that took place and if required adjust the timings to reflect any changes in traffic flow. At the STC Planning meeting on 8th January 2020 a concern was raised regarding the Fire Station not having an override on the traffic lights at Warners Yard. WSCC Highways confirmed that the configuration of the new junction controller includes the previously installed “green wave” which keeps the north/south road on green for 4 minutes, allowing the firefighters time to get to the station in an emergency. A function for the Fire Brigade to press a button inside the building was also added to enable all lights to be on red to allow the engine easier egress. WSCC were in communication with the Fire & Rescue service to complete the installation. At the same meeting STC raised a question asking if Warner’s Lane was a 3 public highway and WSCC Highways replied that according to their records it was a privately maintained road with a definitive public footpath running along it. It would be an offence to obstruct a definitive public footpath and issues/evidence of this nature should be reported to the Public Rights of Way Team. STC also highlighted the issue to WSCC regarding a pot hole on the corner of Manor Road and Millington Drive and we had confirmation that this had been scheduled for repair by Southern Water (as it is around their drain) between the 27th and 29th January.

PL.167/20 ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES. Cllr G Baum informed all that the FLOW (Fixing and Linking our Wetlands) project, which is run and managed by the Manhood Wildlife and Heritage Group and funded with a Heritage Lottery Fund grant, was coming to an end. She would circulate a report to the Clerk and STC Chair from FLOW regarding a proposal for parish’s to take over the responsibility for riparian drainage, which would have a cost implication and indicated that and Selsey parish councils would be approached initially for their responses to a pilot study.

PL.168/20 TO RAISE ANY URGENT MATTERS There were none.

PL.169/20 MEMBERS & COUNCILLORS QUESTIONS & REPORTS ON PLANNING ISSUES There were none.

There being no other business Cllr I Martin closed the meeting at 8.00pm.
