Questions from members of the public regarding |
Responses |
|
Drainage at Eagle Moors |
Cllr Thompson explained that the time scale for dealing with this is not quick and will involve consultation when a design brief is agreed. Free legal advice should be available from household insurers. |
|
Budget for the North Hykeham relief road |
Cllr Thompson answered that the central governmentt grant needs to be match funded by LCC. It can't be reallocated as this would risk the relief road not being built. |
|
Speed of traffic into Eagle |
Cllr Thompson has contacted the Police and Crime Commissioner about enforcement of speed limits. The clerk reminded the meeting that Community Speed Watch had been approved for Eagle Moor but no volunteers had stepped forward for training. One member of the public said she would get involved. |
