Cllr Smith was accompanied by Debbie Thorne, NCC Assistant Head of Transports & Highways, Leo Plant (MGWSP Area Manager) and Derek Buchanan (MGWSP General Manager). Cllr Smith promised to look into the problems with the 16+ Travel Scheme and get back to the parents representative by the end of the week. Cllr Smith advised that grant funding for casualty reduction has been withdrawn. Many communities have applied for traffic calming but there is little funding for works. One option put forward was to increase the Parish Council’s PRECEPT to pay for traffic calming. It was agreed that there should be a consultation before any significant increases in the PRECEPT. Cllr Verden implored residents of Earls Barton to adhere to the speed limits in force around the village otherwise all residents may have to pay increased taxes to pay for measures. PC Lee advised that the police are aware of the speeding issues in Earls Barton and support the use of traffic calming measures as they are a less confrontational way of tackling the problem. Cllr Blackwell expressed frustration over the lack of traffic calming from NCC, even though the Parish Council has been liaising with NCC for many years regarding the issue. Derek Buchanan admitted that the condition of roads in the county were a challenge as were the budgetary restraints. 3 hotspots in Earls Barton have been identified for urgent works (Compton Way, Mears Ashby Road and Elizabeth Way), and these works will be carried out in the next 4-6 weeks. Debbie Thorne advised that, due to a change in working, 80% of repairs on potholes are now permanent repairs as this is more cost effective, although there will still be occasions when interim repairs will need to be made. Leo Plant advised that highway inspections are carried out in line with a National Intervention Level and, therefore, if a pothole does not meet that level, it will not be filled even if it is next to another pothole that does meet the required criteria. He also advised that there are 8 additional gangs carrying out permanent repairs around the county. Concerns were raised over proposed parking restriction in the village centre and regarding dangerous parking close to zebra crossings. The public were assured that any parking restrictions will be subject to a consultation period and the local police confirmed that they will deal with any dangerous parking that they witness.

(a) Report on Meeting with Cllr Heather Smith – Cllr Blackwell reported on a meeting held with Cllr Heather Smith, Cabinet Member responsible for Footpaths and Highways, Debbie Strong, Deputy Head of Transport and Highways and Leo Plant, Acting Area Manager of MGSWP. Several roads in the village were inspected and it was explained that routine inspections are carried out, as well as additional inspections when a defect is reported. On the basis of these inspections a priority works list is produced. At present, the footpaths of Elizabeth Way are due to be resurfaced in the next couple of years, but the highway will be longer. It was agreed that it is not cost effective to carry out the resurfacing as two separate jobs. However, a report on a new initiative was being put before full council on 13 April, which would allow for a change in practices and could mean that both the footpaths and highways are resurfaced at the same time. Cllr Smith was confident that, should the initiative be approved by the County Council, there would be noticeable improvements on highway works carried out within 12 months. Harrowick Lane was also looked at and, although they agree that the road is in a poor state of repair, there simply isn’t the funding to carry out resurfacing work in the near future. However, any defects reported will be subject to an inspection and remedial work where necessary. Any road defects should be reported to Street Doctor on 0845 601 1113 or at www.northamptonshire.gov.uk
(b) Parish Enhancement Gangs – requests for work to be carried out by the Parish Enhancement Gang was passed to the Clerk.
