  4. Matters arising from last minutes
    1. Street Lights: Street Lights in Newtown area.  Clerk reported:- Clr R. Bailey is still working on the adoption of these and will continue to report progress.
    2. Community Speed Watch: further to previous meeting, the Clerk reported the latest report from Mike Hartland is:-

      We now have 9 volunteers at the moment. Unfortunately Lucy Denman cannot continue.

      Therefore we currently have 8 volunteers from the Broomhall area and 1 from the Aston area.  Really we could do with more volunteers from the Aston area as three of our CSW sites are in Aston.  We will try and do a recruitment drive again in the Spring but if you can spread the word I would be grateful.

      Ideally I would like 3 man teams if possible as it is still difficult to collect reg, make of car, colour and speed with just 2 people.

      A rota based on same principles as 2015 ( 2 man teams covering 2 weeks ) has been circulated and starts Jan 18th and takes us up to June 5th.

      I have sent a note to Steve Berry telling him what we do and asking if there was any interest from the Newhall area but have had no reply to date.

      I have requested the SIDS data via Ms Rachel Bailey and have forwarded the correspondence to you.  So far have heard nothing.  As I said previously please raise it with Clr Bailey if she attends the PCC.

      Maybe the PCC can request the data as well ?

      High Vis Tabards? – A. Baldwin agreed to get costings for High Viz tabards and report back
