7.6.20 Planning Applications None received in this period - however there has been correspondence regarding an application

• Considered the Parish Council response to the application for a premises license at Tallentire Hall. There are conflicting versions of what they are applying for that appear to then conflict with the application that the Parish Council do not feel that they can support this application. The view therefore is that there should be a formal objection to the application on the grounds of public nuisance.

• Potholes - continue to be reported
• Beck edge requires work, site visit is being arranged for potential contractor to do the work.
• Wall around the grassed area in Dovenby belonging to the PC. This needs to be revisited as it will need foundations to be put in, and the price quoted in last meeting did not include this aspect of the work. Agreed that the information would be shared via email in order to progress over the summer recess. In the interim the area is to be ticker taped off with a warning sign.
• Public Footpath signage - No further update
• Footbridge in Dovenby.- Nothing to report, much of the work is on hold due to Covid 19.
• Speeding through Dovenby - it has emerged that there was a recommendation for speed reduction following a traffic survey in 2018 so FOI has been put in to confirm this.
• Further approach to be made with regard to speed reduction warning signs in Tallentire.

11.6.20 M Sport

• No update. Clerk to write to Simon Sharp for an update on Condition 6
• 12.6.20 Proposed Defibrillator for Dovenby - Power supply box is now in situ. Electricity NW is now aware and it is with them to action. Total cost expected to be approximately £50 per year. Mains connection should be done in next few weeks, then box will be on the wall and the announcement needs to be made to NW Ambulance and go on the website.
