Agenda

1.     Portskewett Community Council: Appropriateness of Name of “Caldicot East” proposed development in the revised local development plan; the name should reflect that the development is in Portskewett.

2.     County Councillor Tony Easson: Many residents are concerned about the poor state of Caldicot Town centre but in particular the unkempt state  of the Cross area and Church Road. There are damaged bollards and pedestrian crossing posts damaged ,and masses of weeds where it was planned that there would be flowering plants.

3.     County Councillor Tony Easson: Residents, especially in Castle Lea, are also questioning why the Nedern Brook is still overgrown and silted up .What action is being taken by Mon Life , despite promises, to carry out work to prevent future flooding.

4.     County Councillor Tony Easson: About 16 months ago the public footpath, No 376, alongside the Nedern Brook was closed for safety reasons, by the Health and Safey executive. What action have Mon Life, Flooding ,and Environment  Officers done to resolve the issue What discussions have taken place  with the Health and Safety Executive, and Natural Resources Wales. The issue of unsafe working practices at the recycling yard have not been resolved. How much longer must residents wait for action to be taken by the H & S Executive.

5.     County Councillor Tony Easson:  Many motorists have complained about the re-alignment of the B4245  as they cross over  the  old MOD  railway line, (now Greenway), bridge, towards Chepstow .There is a kink in the alignment which protrudes into the highway, causing lorries in particular to hit the kerb line. Can Highways Officers respond with their reasons why they consider that speed and dangerous driving is the main factor for this happening. Yet NO statistical evidence has been provided to support this assertion. A road safety assessment is promised, but pre-emptive  action is required now.!!
