MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF THE 6th December 2007
The minutes were agreed.
MATTERS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES
C.C.C. The proposal for a path up Bell Hill will consist of red textured material for 1.5 metres from the hedge over the length where there is no footpath with a solid white line to separate the ‘false’ highway from the road and there would be no physical obstructions within the entire width of the road. There is no guarantee that the scheme will be approved as such schemes are usually in street lit areas(30mph). However the 30mph limit could possibly be moved further uphill. Mr Lobb advised Cllr Hunkin that it had been agreed with the previous County Councillor Mr J.Lobb to alter the kerb at Portheast Way to slow the traffic coming down Bell Hill. Cllr Hunkin will look into this.
C.C.C. Consultation on weak structure at Penvergate. O.S. grid reference & map shows this as a retaining wall just before Penvergate on the road from Rescassa to Penvergate. It was agreed that a 33 tonnes restriction on this would be acceptable.
Clerk. 1 application received and I pending. As notices have only just been put on the notice boards it was agreed to wait until the February meeting. Council to meet at 7.00p.m with a closed session to look at all the applications before arranging interviews.
Daffodils. As it is too late to plant bulbs this will be looked at again next autumn.

If dog owners do not follow the code then the P.C. will have no alternative but to ban dogs from the beach.
