To support these requests, it was suggested that letters written from the Longstone Action Group be made available to the Parish Council.
Correspondence: The Clerk displayed letters and reports received since the last meeting:-
Wadebridge Road – The Clerk had corresponded further with the resident at No. 13 Wadebridge Road, regarding the damage to her hedge. The County Council had suggested that the Police be informed when stones are dislodged by large agricultural vehicles, but the incidents would require witnesses and details of vehicles.
Meadow Court, Wadebridge Road: A letter from a resident raised the issue of parking in the tarmac entrance areas to Meadow Court, these being visibility strips and not designated parking bays. Cllr C Mutton, present at the meeting and landowner, agreed to obtain some “No Parking” signs for this area to endeavour to resolve this matter.
Parish Matters:
Longstone: The grassed area around the dog bin and notice board was well maintained, but grass cuttings / weeds etc had been dumped on this land by a local resident. It was suggested that a notice be displayed “No dumping of rubbish”.
Footpath between Church and Pub: Local resident Mr Roy Hill had weeded the path and also sprayed the parking area behind the Bus Shelter.
The crescent: Contractors working on behalf of North Cornwall District Council had cut and tidied the overgrown area adjacent to the garages behind The crescent.
Playing Field / Play Equipment / ROSPA Report: The ROSPA report was addressed and the required work identified.
CCC Local Maintenance Project 2008/2009 and Parish Footpaths:
Footpath No. 5 opposite No. 6 Longstone had been ploughed and maize had been planted in the field. Cllr C Mutton will arrange for a path to be reinstated. It was agreed that it would be inappropriate for the path to be cut diagonally across the field, directly through the crop.
Footpath No. 3 Longstone Lay-by to Menkee (Treblethick) Instructions have been given to trim this path . The walkway / bridge needs replacing and a handrail is required for public safety. It was agreed to ask the County Council to look at this path as a matter of urgency and it was felt that its current state was unsafe, and although rarely used, should be maintained or closed until work is completed.
Date of next Meeting:Tuesday 2nd September 2008
