Latest Parish Council Minutes

Minutes of a meeting of Eye Parish Council held in the Leeds Hall, High Street, Eye on Thursday 1^st December 2011 at 7pm.

Consultation with the public until 7.10pm

Member of the public present requesting a new skate park for Eye. The existing one has problems with its surface despite being resurfaced twice. The sheets are “flexing” down and hurting users and damaging their clothes.

Approx cost £90,000-£98,000. BIFFA Awards suggested for funding also S106 money from the sale of The Croft and from the extension to The Garden Park.

This will be placed on next months agenda and the clerk will make enquiries with the City Council.

Representatives of Eye Car Care attended the meeting as their business was discussed at last months Parish Council meeting. They told the meeting that Ian Tobin from PCC did visit the business to look into parking issues and requested a poster was removed which they immediately did. They also stated that they have all the necessary permission required to run their business.

Presentation by Peterborough Garden Park on their phase 2 proposals for the Park

Mr G Eddington, Mr D King (Operations Director) and another colleague attended.

Mr Eddington told the meeting that when the site opened it was gridlock with traffic mainly caused by the traffic lights at the roundabout not being in sequence and also nearby roadworks.

Although the Garden Park was voted the best out of town shopping centre in Britain they are now looking at improving the “critical mass” visiting the site and the best option appears to be a food store. To accommodate this there will be a further 500 parking spaces and 2 lanes in and out the site to relieve traffic congestion – expected to be better with the A16 now fully open. Better signage will be done. The introduction of a food store would give the Garden Park a sustainable future. Garden Parks are in talks with food stores but do not yet know which one will operate there.

They will also be creating “Wisdom Wood” with young offenders planting daffodils, The City College will be providing a Learning Centre and graffiti art at the Children’s playground. Between the Coffee shop and the proposed new food store will be an infill internal children’s play area. There will also be a gallery with the exhibition of Peterborough City College students work. They are also working on the design for an interactive area with jewellery/potters wheel which can be opened in the evenings.

There is to be a Leisure Cycle Hub with free bike hire.

The Garden Park aims to screen off the tip.

It is anticipated it will take 9 months to build the new facility with RG Carter the favoured contractor taking on 2 apprentices.

The planning application is being made before Christmas and Garden Park have been talking with the City Planners and are seeking the support of the Parish Council.

Attendees:Mrs A Miller, Mr N Briers, Mr R Brown, Mr R Butterwick, Mr S Duffy, Mr A Goodsell, Mr T Hitchborn, Mrs A Meadows, Mr A Short and Mr A Smith.
