THE FOREST SCHOOL

The amendment for the creation of the artificial pitch was received although there appeared to be irregularities, especially relating to the opening hours. FNC submitted its response within the schedule and referred to the opening hours and again the pitch’s placement within the school grounds.

Residents are concerned about the impact on their amenities.

CONTROLLED PARKING ZONE

It is understood that Tanyard Close is to be considered within the controlled parking zone review but FNC has been advised that WSCC will not extend the zone any further than one road from the current plan.

There is some suggestion that a further zone might be considered but this has not been confirmed.

5G MAST ALONGSIDE BRIGHTON ROAD

You may be aware that an application was submitted to HDC Planning for a 5G Mast to be placed in Brighton Road on the corner of Tanyard Close. Forest Neighbourhood Councillors considered that this place was wholly inappropriate and have strongly objected.

We are pleased to advise that HDC Planning has refused this application. FNC realises that other applications are likely to come forward and is requesting an HDC Policy that it can refer to – if need be.

CITY FIBRE

Many residents are concerned at the way in which City Fibre operatives are “reinstating” verges. We understand that WSCC Highways Compliance Officer has asked for a meeting and will state that the level of work is unacceptable. FNC will be kept updated.
