10/09/09 To discuss issues arising from the LAP meeting
Road Gritters: the Council felt that hand-held gritting

Iron Railings:
the following stretches of County Council owned iron railings were
identified:
· Coast Road between Colt Park Cottages and Scale/Aldingham cross roads (c0.9 mi)
· Coast Road between Sea Wood and Baycliff layby (c.03 mi)
· Coast Road Riddings road end
· Dendron School
· Copper Dog, Leece
· Kiln Lane, Leece
· Mere Tarn
· Scales Green
It was agreed that, due to the large amount of railings, those along the Coast Road should be prioritised.
Speed Stickers for Wheelie Bins: A minimum request of 50x 30mph and 20x 20mph stickers will be made.

The Highways Steward system is still not functioning effectively. Cllr Willis advised waiting till the Better Highways system comes into force in December before sending any official complaints, to which the Council agreed.
10/09/12 To discuss a possible tree planting scheme on Ulverston Road, Gleaston
The suggestion to plant trees along the main road was made by Ray Wilson and has since received numerous offers of support from residents.

10/09/13 To discuss the possibility of a drainage scheme in Gleaston
Following the suggestion to construct a flood drain in Gleaston, Cllr Willis contacted the Highways Engineers who are willing to place this in next year’s budget. The Clerk will obtain written permission from the landowners.

10/09/18 Parish Steward Update
Jobs for this month:
· Cut back around Gleaston, Scales and Leece signs
· Kerb at Scales Green needs cutting back
10/09/19 To discuss matter regarding the Roosebeck laybys
The Clerk contacted Highways regarding permission to improve the surface of the laybys. Steven Soulsby said Highways are responsible for cutting the grass but not for the laybys themselves; he could see no problem with the Council undertaking the work. It was agreed that £700 should be budgeted for the work (£400 materials, £300 labour) and that a disclaimer regarding accidents would be placed in the noticeboard, as the Council does not own the land.
10/09/20 To finalise the 2011/12 budget
A budget for grass cutting along the Coast Road was agreed at £350. The final budget is attached to these minutes.
The Council agreed to request a budget of £11,291. This constitutes a 28% increase on the previous precept. However, the 2010/11 precept was lowered to allow the Council to spend a surplus so the current precept is in-line with previous years.
10/09/21 To authorise payment of accounts
The following payments were agreed by the Council:
· Gleaston Village Hall and Green £179 for two playground inspections
· Clerk’s Salary, October £388.58
· Parish Steward £233.28 (£188 Oct/Nov Salary, £45.28 guttering)
