19/22 Public Participation
There were several members of the public present who wished to discuss the amount of speeding on Banks Road. It was thoroughly discussed and our local Police representatives stressed that everyone needs to complain to Lancashire Road Safety Partnership each time it happens as this will form a pattern that the Authorities can then act upon. It was agreed that the Parish Council will look into funding a speed camera for this stretch of road and look into the best position for it. Parish Clerk to check information and report at next meeting. Hoping to site a permanent SPid.
Also raised that the hedges down Ralphs Wifes Lane are through onto the pavement, pointed out that they can be cut after 16th September due to nesting birds.
