Agenda item

Stoke Poges Lane – Elliman Avenue Junction update  – JW advised that an update from the Network Management team was received on 4^th January stating that the contractual issues had been overcome and the scheme would be completed when two poles with pedestrian push buttons had been installed and the controller re-programmed.  The poles and push buttons were due to be delivered soon with an estimated completion given as the end of January.

Ditton Park Cycle Path update – JW advised that contact had been made with the Principal Rights of Way Officer, Anthony Hurst from Windsor and Maidenhead to inform him of the problems with the cycle path surface and the gates being closed in contravention of planning conditions.  The relevant planning conditions are set out in clauses 4.7 and 4.8 of the S106 agreement. Anthony Hurst would visit the path on 19^th Jan and thereafter contact CA Real Estate. 

Resolved – JW would speak to Anthony Hurst following his visit to the site and this item would be updated at the next meeting

Gating Order Proposals Updates

Mildenhall Road – Lerwick Drive -

JW stated that the problems have abated following some of the troublesome families moving away and young people moving on. 

 Resolved - That the situation should continue to be monitored. 

Shaggy Calf Lane to Borderside – JW updated members on behalf of Esther Deacon.  The path will remain as a priority on the Police patrol plan and Community Warden Patrol list.  No barrier of any kind will be erected as the motorcycle and anti-social behaviour problems are being monitored and reports do not justify putting in a barrier. 

Resolved - That the situation should continue to be monitored.

Salt Hill Park Tunnel – The members were informed that a crime statistics report presented at the recent Action Plan meeting proved the success of the CCTV camera in the park at the south end of the tunnel.  As a result a design for a permanent CCTV set up has been put forward.  It is hoped to have approval for this expenditure before end of April 2011.  Other recent improvements in the tunnel are the fence re-alignment allowing better vision through the tunnel and the success in getting Simpsons Recycling to cut back the overhanging vine at the north end of the tunnel.  JW advised that the lighting remained an issue as it had not officially been handed over to the street lighting maintenance team.  The Transport Section would need to arrange repairs to the lights before this could happen. 

Resolved - Members recommended that the Transport Section be asked to make repairs to the lighting and hand over to the Street Lighting team.  JW would send members a copy of the Crime Statistics report on the current CCTV camera.

Footpath 35a – Members were advised that this development had not yet moved forward, so there was nothing to report.

Resolved -   That the situation be monitored pending the outcome of the proposed development.
