NOT From our Reporter at the Parish Council Meeting
Well, no reporter turned up for the March meeting. As I was being away it was
arranged that Mark Lewinski should report and even though it was a very busy
time of term he agreed to help out. Because of the - shall I say
"spirited" - letters in the March Crier this could have been an
editorial coup. What fun, with the poacher turned gamekeeper. Mr L thought
otherwise, feeling that anything he might happen to write could be construed as
being a little personal.
This is a pity because I for one was looking forward to reading some other person's report. So, Mr Doe - you write a very amusing article, you are not short of a word or two, you have just contributed some important new information on the Bard's knowledge of fairy culture - why don't you write the occasional report? Please think about it and let me know. This invitation goes out to everyone.
As there is a little spare space for this report I will backtrack on an item which turned up at the December meeting and which was not covered because of space. The CCC has a policy on road signs for community or charity events and it has made some recent changes which are shown in bold below:-
Signs should not exceed 0.5 sq. metres in area, should not be erected for more than 7 days before the event or remain in place for more than 48 hours afterwards. The signs should be erected within the village or town/city neighbourhood where the event is taking place. Normally, no more than three signs should be erected per event.
Organisers of community events should inform their local highways divisional office at least 2 weeks before erecting any temporary signs.
Steve Kent-Phillips who kindly erects the signs said at the meeting that he conforms to all the above regulations so it now up to the organizers to inform the highways divisional office and it seems sensible to send them through all at one go. No address was given so you may like to email Louise Collier on louise.collier@cambridgeshire.gov.uk for the details.
