The Council had a discussion over the outstanding local highway issues with Mr M. Clogg, Operational Manager Highways. A number of issues are only going to be resolved when sufficient funds are available. Other issues will be examined for a possible solution.

A public consultation concerning improvements in the local play areas took place during the month and a number of constructive ideas were submitted. The Vale is at present drawing up plans and it is hoped the work can be completed later this year.

A marked increase in dog fouling has been noted around the village lately especially in the area of the school. The Vale is looking to increase its enforcement team. The public could do more by shaming those responsible for not clearing up after the dog.

Five mile lane work is slightly behind schedule due to the discovery of an unmapped water supply pipe; the road is expected to open on the 1st April. The road then from Sycamore Cross to Pendoylan will be totally closed for 6 weeks for road widening work connected with the new housing development site.

Representatives from the Council and the Library have met with the Vale planning department to resolve a few outstanding issues. The tender documents are expected to be issued in mid March. The proposed building will be attached to the present Community Centre and consist of two rooms joined by a fold-away screen and additional toilets and main entrance porch. The new library will permanently occupy one room and when open the two rooms will be joined and spill into the other room. When not in use the library can be shut away and the other room used by the public.
