October 2024

To discuss arrangements and update on the new bench on The Parade.
Cllr Holt had sent several photos of a number of potential sites for the new bench to councillors prior to the meeting. It was decided that three options would be followed up. Cllr Holt will speak to the three shops potentially affected and report back at the next meeting. Cllr French also suggested talking to local residents about the placement and where it might benefit them most.
This was proposed by Cllr Bray and seconded by Cllr Moon.
Carried unanimously.
(extract from Environment, Highways, and Transport Committee meeting, 3rd October 2024, item 17)

August 2024

To review and Approve the draft applications to SCC for a new bench on the Parade.
A discussion was held on where the bench would be placed and also what the costs would be to place it. Cllr Holt to come back to the council with appropriate recommendations on where to site the bench. Clerk to ask EBC for contact details of three approved Highway Contractors. Application will be submitted in due course once the materials are ready to be submitted to SCC suggesting where the bench will be sited and who will carry out the installation. It is quite possible given the concerns of adding more street furniture that the bench could replace an existing low bench.
ACTIONS: Clerk to contact EBC and Cllr Holt to provide suggestions on the siting of the bench at a future EHTC Meeting.
A further discussion was held regarding what wording would be used for a plaque on the bench. This is to be moved to the next EHTC meeting for decision.
This was all proposed by Cllr Holt and seconded by Cllr Bray. Carried unanimously.
