Burton Bradstock Parish Council Meeting     -           Wednesday 1^st  March 2006

 

Hive Beach

The parish council is investigating the possibility of installing a 'Pay & Display' type parking meter at the Hive Beach car park.  This would mean that all customers could pay accordingly for their use of the facilities and could give an all year round income from the car park by introducing different tariffs for each season.  The installation of a notice board on Fisherman's Green is still being pursued.

 

Planning

There was discussion on the construction of the bridge at Swallowfield.  The chairman read a statement from WDDC planning office that said it seems the bridge construction is outside of the planning permission granted and depending on the outcome of an Environment Agency investigation, the plans may need to be re-submitted to WDDC.

Annual Parish Meeting

Any Other Business?

There was discussion on the new yellow lines in the village.  Although in some cases these have improved traffic movements, there is still some concern that the situation has not been fully resolved.  The exiting of Annings Lane and safety of pedestrians on Barr Lane/High Street are particular areas of concern.

 

Next Parish Council will be Wednesday 5^th April @ 7.30pm in the Reading Room.
