Agenda item

• Mildenhall to Lerwick Drive (Vinay Vyas)
• Shaggy Calf lane to Borderside (Esther Deacon)
• Salt Hill Park Tunnel (Nahid Moghul)

Mildenhall to Lerwick Drive

It was reported that this was on hold as there was insufficient evidence at present to proceed with a gating order. A Member reported that they had received concerns from residents but it was noted that problems needed to relate to the actual pathway and have to be reported to be taken into consideration.

Agreed – That a further update be provided at the next meeting.

Shaggy Calf Lane to Boarderside

The LAF considered a report which provided an update on the gating proposal. A questionnaire had been circulated which achieved a 20% response rate. Footage from a CCTV camera was also being considered along with the survey responses. However Esther Deacon (ED), Community Safety Project Officer was considering not pursuing a gating order on this alleyway due to the high useage.

Agreed – That ED attend the next meeting to provide an update.

Salt Hill Park Tunnel

Nahid Moghul, Community Safety Project Officer and JW attended a recent parks meeting where it was recommended that there was no justification for gating in the evening.  A mural had recently been completed in tunnel which had received input for the design from school children.

Proposals for the Gating Order Process

JW advised that comments were requested from the LAF on proposals for the gating order process by the 16^th June. Memebrs considered a document which detialed proposals for the process, which included a suggestion for a Gating Order Committee and proposals for response rates to surveys. Members raised the following issues:

• How would non-residents, e.g. footpath users be consulted
• Whether the percentage rates for responses were for households or individuals
• That a third of responses was a high response rate as shown by the Shaggy Calf Lane Survey.
