Craster PC Update – 12
Feb 17
Prepared by Cllr Kate
Cairns
Quarry Car Park Surfacing
Programme
The surfacing
programme is scheduled for 27th February over 4 days which should allow
for all the surfacing and road markings to be completed (weather permitting).
The PC Chairman suggested that the land owner of Bart Potts be asked to open up
the area for alternative parking. This request has been refused. Work will take
place after the school holidays and during the week when demand is at it’s
lowest.
Gateway Works and Speed
Restrictions
Feedback from the PC at the last
meeting on maintaining the speed limit at 40mph between Dunstan and Craster has
been noted. The trees on the inside of the bend do restrict forward visibility
and will need cutting back in the future if they encroach onto the carriageway.
Any trees that obstruct the signs will need to be removed however. This
project is in the LTP 17/18.
Blocking parking on the
verge
Investigations are being
made into ways to prevent parking on the Bogue Rd. Options are bollards, wooden
posts or double yellow lines. Prices are being sought for wooden posts. The PC
also proposed a footpath along this stretch, which would have implications on
options.
Dog Control Campaign
Officers are preparing a report on a
future dog control campaign that will include wide ranging aspects including a
responsible dog owner charter. This will be presented to both urban and rural
cabinet advisory groups (CAGs) on the 8th March following which after the
'Purdah' period in May all parish councils will be consulted on proposals and
invited to a campaign launch event in early June 17.
MyStreet
Northumberland
A new mobile phone app has
been launched to make it easier to report issues affecting their local
communities. ‘MyStreet Northumberland’ can be
downloaded and used to access information on a number of problems such as
anti-social behaviour, noise, litter, dog fouling, streetlighting
and roads, in all one place.
England Coast Path
Natural England is
implementing the England Coast Path and is holding public ‘drop-in’ sessions
along the stretch. Anyone who has concerns they will be affected by the route
or is interested in finding out more information is welcome to attend the
