Minutes of the PC planning meeting approved last night:
Before the meeting started, a resident of Court Road, reported the problems that she has endured from the contractors delivering to the Home Farm Development. She is concerned, and has experienced dangerous obstruction and delays caused by the lorries which park on Lodge Road to deliver materials. When challenged, they become abusive. She tried to complain at the site office, however, further abuse was received from a worker on site; it is now her intention to take the matter further by contacting Martin Wright Persimmon Homes, to ask that he complies with the legal responsibilities relating to agreed conditions.
PCllr Mrs D Ball reported that she had met with police to discuss the matter of illegal parking of lorries whilst waiting/unloading, and the abuse given to residents when complaints are made. Police Officer Keith Glen met with Cllr Ball on site and a warning was given to Mr N Burt, site manager, stating that any lorries parking illegally (not using the designated parking area) would be ‘ticketed’, and that abuse would not be tolerated. Cllr Ball reported to Martin Wright, however he said that the problems were not due to the behaviour of Persimmon workers therefore he was unable to do anything. Cllr Ball made it clear that this Council expects him to manage the situation as it is his responsibility. CBCllr A Bastable undertook to attempt to contact Mr Wright on Thursday 10th March to follow this up. Cllr Ball undertook to contact Hannah Pattinson to make her aware of the situation and to ask that she impresses on Martin Wright, the need for him to comply with his legal responsibilities.
