Agenda 

1.07    Welcome from Chairman 
2.07    Apologies For absence – received from District Cllr Neil Jones – he may be in#   attendance later. 
3.07    Draft Notes previously circulated were proposed as a true and correct record of the       meeting held on the 18th June 2024, Chairman Cllr John Wood, seconded Cllr     Perryman, all voted in favour RESOLVED Minutes were signed and date by Chairman.
4.07    Elan Speed indicators – Cllr Perryman reported that the maximum speed reached into Antons Gowt on Meer Booth Road was 82 mph and out of the village is 100 mph. Overall the percentage of speeders is now at 14%.
Similar speeds are recorded on Gipsey Drove. The new signs implemented in the two locations have shown a significant impact on the speeding and a clear improvement with the average staying within the speed current limit. 
Again it was noted that when the new speed limit is implemented on Meer Booth Road this will likely have an effect on these figures. Cllr Perryman would like to share our findings with Thornton-Le-Fen and work with them to aid them with their own speed sign as they also face similar speeding issues.

5.07    Reports – District and County Council – Due to District Cllr Ashton absence Cllr Ashleigh Morris was able to provide an update from District council.
