Public Forum

Speeding through the village is still an issue so perhaps we could put up dummy cameras and signs saying Average Speed Cameras in operation? Clerk to check legality.

There appears to be no policing of illegal parking overnight etc of Motorhomes at Huttoft and Moggs Eyre car parks.

The Chairman has personally requested for Enforcement Officers to attend but to no apparent avail.
