**NOTICES**

 

Planning Application

The Planning Application by Mr Casey for agricultural buildings on land on Waltham Lane has been refused by MBC.

 

From Parish Councillor Stuart Bridge: 

I would be interested if villagers could report any accidents that they see at the Eastwell crossroads on Scalford Road at Cross Roads Farm.
I am trying to get the Give Way signage on the approach to the crossroads from the Waltham-on-the-Wolds direction changed to a STOP sign.
So far, LCC Highways have refused on the basis that the accident records do not justify the change.
Whilst I was away recently, there was another serious accident involving a car and motorcycle which shut the cross-road for half a day and put the rider in hospital. I propose to talk to Community Support Officer about it.

(If you wish to report an accident, please send it to Stuart via email: 

stuart@the stackyard.co.uk OR call him on: 07971 483050)

 

From Leics County Council:  PROPOSED ROAD CLOSURES:  DATES TBA

🚫A607 ROAD CLOSURE🚫 BETWEEN THORPE ARNOLD & MELTON GOLF CLUB - FROM TBA TO TBA - THE ROAD REOPENS ON  TBA

- for the new ROUNDABOUT construction

**Please note: FREEBY LANE & WOODFOLD LANE will also be CLOSED at their junctions with the A607**

 

From: Leics County Council - There will be a TEMPORARY CLOSURE of  VICARAGE LANE on 13th January to enable Severn Trent Water  to carry out a domestic service connection.  The work is not anticipated to exceed 3 days.
