District
Council
Cllr Gee discussed the new regeneration route and confirmed
signage is still up for Leicester and Ashby, but not Swadlincote, which has
been discussed with SDDC. Cllr Taylor
reported if the route is not utilised this will have an impact on the
surrounding areas. The road has not been
adopted on the Leicester side therefore the traffic officers cannot direct
traffic down the route. Cllr Jones reported
there is a District
Council Report: Land Compensation Act 1973, could the adjacent
households seek compensation if there was a lot more traffic?
Cllr Gee reported the Christmas activities in Swadincote were very well attended and brought a lot of
business into the area.
Cllr Taylor said there have been reports of damage to the access
drive at Green Lane and Manchester Lane where trees are being planted, the area
has been looked at by a planning officer but due to existing access rights is a
private matter.
