4. Planning applications
1. Ashcombe house – no developments, decision pending.

5. Footpaths
- IR says enforcement / reopening of old footpath not worth expense and disruption
- Status quo likely to remain
6. Aircraft Warning Light
- IR says it’s still there, has two bulbs running
- No meaningful response from the folks running the Landsdown tower, in order to take it to the CAA and see why it’s so different
- IR just drafted a FOIA letter to CAA to try to learn how to pursue further
7. Local lane speeds
- Discussion of “quiet lane” sign or “beware, pedestrians in road” to indicate this is a country lane?
- Discussion of potential for Tadwick Lane road closure to through traffic during school run as seen in Cirencester and Milsom street
- GD: White lines on Gloucester Road – repainted but in the same place – can we try again but with a properly shifted centre line past deadmill lane to account for where people are parking already?
- GD: Should be a dotted line. Safety issue, should delineate where the centre of the road is
- TS: suggests “Oncoming Traffic In Centre Of Road” sign
- IR: Action point – write to council to get double lines taken away, ask for their comments. Point out that they repainted them last time we asked for them to be taken away
– CW will write to council
