Items as reported in the Town Clerk’s report were noted: six schemes had been delivered or were progressing well.
One award to consider: Edenbridge Town Council: Road Safety measures - Main Road, Hilders Lane and Hillcrest Road junction - balance £4980.57 (resolution February 2022 5.5 £10k). This award for the 40mph buffer zone at Main Road was now completed. However, part of the project to help with raising awareness on the approach to Edenbridge was to have considered white gates. Kent Highways had carried out recent speed surveys to measure the effectiveness of the buffer zone (Planning & Transportation has supported this on the HIP). Members were asked to consider keeping the balance in CIL funds for potential additional signage/white gates improvements or did they want to release the funds in to unallocated. Members unanimously,
Resolved: keeping the balance in CIL funds for potential additional signage/white gates improvements at the approach to Edenbridge following the review of buffer zone effectiveness and recommendations.
