Two NCC workmen spent an entire day on the inner car park fencing, but

the H&S Dept. at NCC & CC John Taylor will also chase up.
Parking Sub Committee Update.
The Parking Sub Committee’s paper has been handed to all Councillors
for their consideration. The Sub Committee will take things
further if the Parish Council is in agreement. Concern was raised
that there would not be enough parking spaces to allow for 2 parking
permits per household & the option to purchase a 3rd. Other
suggestions were a ciccane to stop traffic at the car park, one lane
priority at the Cottage Inn, restricted zone signs, Dunstan having the
same restrictions as Craster & unadopted roads not being covered by
NCC permits.
Mrs Joan Angus thanked the Committee for their work & the Parish
Council were in favour for them to progress.
