Councillor Update Minutes: Councillor Winkler gave the following updates on behalf of all three Norden Ward Councillors: · Councillors expressed thanks to Martin Giblin and GMP for all their efforts in the village. · A letter has been sent to Peel Holdings to request a contribution of monies towards Op Dragster. · Councillors plan to fund an additional CCTV camera in Norden Village (with possible monetary assistance from the Co-op) and plans were discussed with the forum regarding which type of camera should be purchased; Option 1: another unit, similar to the one on the opposite side of the road, unmonitored and only viewing a partial view of the area costing approx. £1500 or Option 2: 360 degree view unit, which would be monitored and features pan and tilt costing approx. £4-4,500. Forum attendees voted as follows; 0 in favour of the unmonitored camera and 10 in favour of the 360 degree, monitored camera. · Neighbourhood Speed Watch – any relevant data on completion of this initiative will be fed back into the village traffic plan in accordance with Highways’ procedure in order for them to schedule their ‘beat survey’ in the future. It is intended that officers and Councillors will also endeavour to cover the entire village to assess the purpose and frequency of cars parked in streets to look at the need for future lineage/TROs, including around the bus terminus. · Bridge Inn area – the final phase of the yellow lineage will be painted soon. · Birtle/Elbut Lane area – Councillors have met with residents to discuss the traffic and parking in the interest of extending the lines on Bury & Rochdale Road and Weythorne Drive to deter staff from the local hospital parking in this area. · Elmsfield Avenue/Edenfield Road junction – commissioning document in now for lineage. · Bamford Greenbelt – A packed meeting was held recently regarding the plans for future development on Greenbelt land. Consultation is open until 18 March 2019 and residents can have their say on the document. Also a Facebook page has been created where residents can sign a petition. · Greenbooth Road development – No update regarding any planning applications being submitted, and the recent felling of trees involved no TROs, so no breach. · Scout Moor Turbines – Councillor Winkler advised he has written to the Council’s Planning Department to gain clarification on the decommissioning of the turbines as no bonds were taken for their removal costs at the time they were built. Concerns are growing due to an application to ‘recover’ similar turbines in the Lake District area. · Residents queried the planning application determination process, as applications can sit in the system if missing documents before being validated. Action 1: Councillor Winkler to enquire with the Council’s Planning Department for clarification. |
