Affordable
Housing
Detailed drawings for 12 houses in Catherine Ford
Rd in Dinton have been submitted to SDC. Dinton
and Barford Parish Councils have recommended
their approval. A mixture of shared ownership and
rent is proposed. It is hoped that construction
can commence early in 2006/7. Anyone wanting more
information should contact me.
Play Area
After its closure for safety reasons the play
area has reopened. £1139 was spent replenishing
the bark and repairing the equipment as
recommended by the inspection carried out by the
Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents.
Clearway
WCC are proposing to create a clearway at the bus
stop outside The Haven. If approved no parking
would be permitted there at any time. The Parish
Council has opposed the proposal on the grounds
that it would create more danger on the roadway
rather than lessen it.
Hedge Cutting
The Parish Council has appointed Nigel Spinney to
cut the hedges for which the Parish Council is
responsible at a rate of £19 per hour. The
hedges have now been cut.
Speed Cameras
As a result of negotiations with the Camera
Safety Partnership mobile speed cameras will be
located from time to time along West St (B3089).
It is hoped that there will be a feed-back from
the Partnership on their effectiveness. However,
they are unable to locate a camera on the
Shaftesbury Rd. because the distance between the
bend and the delimitation sign is too short. WCC
have said that they are also unable to meet a
request to put in a bollard in the centre of the
road because that road is too narrow. They are
hoping to put in a coloured gateway marking in
the next financial year.
Emergency Plan
The Parish Council hopes that someone will come
forward to take the lead in producing a Parish
Emergency Plan.
Hurdcott Bend
WCC are conducting a study of the road conditions
on the bend and will report in due course.
Community Facilities
The Community Association has disbanded having
completed its job. The Parish is looking for
someone to take the lead in managing the
Community Room in the school House
Parish Council
The next meeting will take place on 8 March at 7pm
in the school Community Room. The agenda will be
posted on to the notice boards.
