LP re parking for pub (owns land nearby upon which pub clientele have parked and uses footpath opposite pub for access to adjacent paddock)
3. Open public forum (members of the public may raise any item for discussion)
Car parking for pub
Issues:
a. The Fox does not have enough parking space;
b. Cars have been parking on the side of the road which can cause problems;
c. Cars have been parking on the side of the footpath immediately opposite the pub on land owned by the Brown family with the consent of the Brown family;
d. For a number of reasons that consent has been withdrawn;
e. The Fox asked the Parish Council (again) if arrangements could be made to park on the sports’ field which has village green status;
[For the record, the relevant previous PC Meeting Minutes are set out below:
20/4/14:
Parking at the Fox: A problem with no obvious solution. AC to ask PH for staff to park in pub car park.
26/6/13:
Police have visited re parking and think it helps re speed through the village
24/4/13:
Pub parking: Alan raises possibility of use of part of sports field (TB declares an interest as PCC member))
Decision: let’s see how it goes this year; obstruction is a matter for the police]
f. Comparatively recently, the Parish Council sought and obtained village green status for the sports’ field. A village green is an open space to be enjoyed by members of the local community. The view of the Parish Council hitherto has been that turning part of the village green into a pub car park is inconsistent with that status.
g. The Fox wishes to expand its operation. It is anticipated that the parking issues will worsen.
h. The view of the Parish Council is that this essentially is a commercial issue for the Fox.]
