_________________________________________________________________________

OPEN FORUM – Fiona Hewer presented a petition of 160 signatures from residents asking for action on road safety in Whyteladyes Lane. Miss Hewer gave a report on the various statistics revealed by the survey. Cllr Martin Coker then stood up and stated that the new road layout on the junction of the Maidenhead Road was extremely dangerous with a number of incidents every week. He said that the angle of the road was too severe and easy to misjudge. The Clerk was asked to write to RBWM for action. Mrs Jackie Power presented some pre-application plans for the re-development of the Cookham Dean Post Office site. Mrs Power wished to retain the village post office and shop which could be run by the residents. She also intended to build 4 apartments for elderly people wishing to downsize their home but remain in Cookham Dean. Mr and Mrs Munday spoke of their objections to Pln Appn 08/01421. Their main concerns included the size of the extension and the fact that without the garage, the drive would be too short to accommodate their cars thus increasing parking on a narrow, steep road.

 

1.                  APOLOGIES AND DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST: Apologies were received from Cllr Barnes and Kellaway. Cllr John Stretton declared an interest as a member of the Maidenhead Planning Panel and reserved the right to change his mind at a later stage.

 

The Council then agreed to bring Pln Appn 08/01421 to the front of the agenda.
