Residents were also told that the long awaited warning markings on the A21 at the junction of Stream and Riccards Lane are due to be painted on 7/8 June. Councillors, and the clerk in particular, have spent a lot of time contacting Highways England to improve warnings on the road for this junction.
Residents were also informed that the improvement to electricity supply to reduce low voltage and flickering lights is to be carried out by UK Power networks with the erection of a sub station next to the bus stop. Although the parish council had lobbied for an alternative site UK Power networks have deemed that this is the most suitable place to improve the electrical supply for the village. A date to carry out this work has yet to be fixed.
