Issue - meetings

To discuss any other business any member wishes to raise.

Mark Sanders, Healthwatch raise concerns regarding highways and parking on Market Street. Healthwatch was based in a unit behind the Westview building on Market Street. Mark commented that Healthwatch had two allocated parking spaces, one of which was disabled parking but that both were inappropriately used by the residents of other units including Enterprise Rentals and takeaway delivery drivers. Mark reported that Healthwatch had begun photographing offending vehicles as evidence, and in a two week period had collected 49 photos.

There was also a significant litter issue in the area, which had caused accessibility issues for Healthwatch.

The Group also raised concerns regarding speeding on Market Street despite the installation of speed bumps, and concerns regarding the zebra crossing opposite Time Square.

Alison Sanders resolved to raise the issues regarding property, planning and enforcement with the relevant departments and improve the situation. (Action: Alison Sanders)
