Present: Absent: Steve Holmes Judy Cotteril* Dave Whatley Alan Wedderkopp* Phil Parker Bob Kemble* Kevin Hancock Carol Kemble* Gareth O'Rourke * The Absent members were unaware that a meeting was to be held 1.The minutes of the previous meeting were read and agreed. Matters Arising 1. The development of the cycle path between Churchill Way and Cherry Tree Lane has been stopped. Gareth had objected to the proposed development to the County Solicitor. His claim that planning permission was required was upheld. Gareth had a copy of the plans that had been submitted for approval and these were reviewed by the meeting. It was decided that the meeting agreed with the plan in principal, but there were issues that need to be addressed. Gareth agreed to lodge his objections and ideas for improvement on a personal basis and it was also agreed that the association would formally lodge a complaint along the same lines. Phil pointed out that residents had raised their concerns with him regarding the removal of the hedge at the other end of Churchill Way adjacent to the golf course. It was felt there was a potential danger to both pedestrians and cyclists from miss hit golf balls. The meeting agreed that the letter from the association should mention both the removal of the hedge and the need to monitor the cycle paths for misuse by motorbikes. 2. No further information was available on the proposed development of the cycle path from Sherford Bridge. It was agreed to monitor this situation as the proposal was still on the county plan. 3. All local-planning applications needed to be seen by The Association. It was agreed that Steve would contact the council to ensure that these were forwarded to him. 4. The accounts had still not been resolved from the last meeting. Pete Moat was still in possession of all the documentation etc. Phil agreed to contact Pete to arrange the switch over. 5. The police had concluded their speed monitoring on Trull Road. The results were not available officially, but it was understood that the speeds were up to 43mph. The meeting agreed to wait until the results were official before taking any further actions. 6. At this point the roasties arrived. It was agreed they were a great idea and very tasty, if just a little hot. 7. The changes to the committee had not been published in The Gazette. It was agreed that the changes would be published but only Steve and Kevin would publish their mobile numbers. Kevin agreed to contact the paper. 8. It was suggested that the minutes of the association meetings should be forwarded to the local councillors who represent the Wilton and Sherford areas. This was decided to not be a good idea. The minutes of the meetings would be published on the web site and the councillors could access the information here. 9. Phil had received a letter from John Meickle re. The AGM. It was agreed Phil would reply. Any Other Business 1. The idea of a community function was discussed. It was decided that all present should go away and think about what we could organise within the community. Ideas would be discussed at the next meeting. 2. Kevin raised concerns over the volume of heavy traffic that was using Sherford Road. There is evidence of damage to the road because of this. Kevin agreed to contact the local highways authority. 3. With no other business the meeting was closed at 22:10. 4. The next meeting was arranged for Monday 3rd February @ 19:30
