3 Residents Issues Overgrown bushes by steps to Morrisons These bushes need attention ACTION: ROB KELLEY Also discussed the plans for the footpath from Kingsway to Morrisons that is accessible for all. There was 30k 106 money that was set aside to level the path, but the costs associated with such steep steps exceeds the allocated 106 money, Suggestion that staggered steps could be a solution alike the ones at Inverteign ACTION: ROB KELLEY TO LOOK AT THE PROCESS AND FEEDBACK AT NEXT MEETING Speeding Group A meeting is to be arranged to meet Peter Brunt in July. More complaints from residents about speeding in Kingsway a speed camera will be set up. Chris Clarance can arrange the community speed gun if required. Free Running Chrisse Rowe from Broadmeadow Leisure Centre has had a free running group approach her about running sessions in Teignmouth. They already have them in Newton Abbot and Exeter. The cost would be 6 per session and if funding was applied for storage of the large vault boxes and running tracks could be built in. There would be no problem allocating short term funding but ideally it would want to be more sustainable. Chrissie would like to have idea of numbers of interested youth. ACTION: CHRISSIE TO HAND IN HAND TO MOVE FORWARD South West Water Reservoir The land needs to be maintained and is really overgrown could Hand in Hand adopt it and plant the area? Issue about liability were raised and it was suggested that rather than adopting could we negotiate maintenance. Rob Kelley suggested contacting Community Payback who may be able to clear the land there would be a cost approx. 100 and they would need an element of supervision and somewhere to dispose the rubbish. Lesley suggested that HiH could apply to DCH to fund once permission from landowner had been given. Chris Clarance suggested that as SWW are not living up to their responsibilities we should ask them to fund community payback. ACTION: ANDY PEPPER TO CONTACT SWW (and also whilst in contact also ask if HIH can put a dog bin on the wall and also permission for notice board- whilst Andy & Lesley will go and look at for best location) Parking on bend at bottom of Kingsway. The cars parking is causing a blind spot and an accident waiting to happen ACTION: KELLY BEERE TO SPEAK WITH THE OWNERS OF THE CARS/ ALSO FEED INTO SPEEDING GROUP MEETING Rat runs/parking - Speeding group should rename traffic group and although the main issue to concentrate on in the July meeting is speeding issues also need to flag up all the other issues. Chris Clarence informed the group not to be put off if they say there is no money money can be found or raised. Group need to ask Where is the best place for yellow lines to solve parking issues
