Highways and Maintenance
- Update report
- Still awaiting repairs to several potholes in the village. Noted extremely deep potholes on Dunholme Road; to be reported again as they are very dangerous and life threatening to motor cyclists.

- To receive an email from a resident regarding maintenance required to Dunholme Road – The maintenance required has already been reported to Lincolnshire County Council as above. Dunholme Road footpath is not maintained by LCC and therefore the cost would fall to the Parish Council, which is not in the financial position to commit to this at present.
- To receive an email from a resident regarding parking during school drop off and pick up times and maintenance required to the Bottle and Glass area – Proposed Cllr Fotheringham, seconded Cllr Patchett and agreed by all to send pictures of poor school parking to Jackie Parker.
