Minutes:

Jonathan Medlin – Senior Development Officer introduced the report.

 

Councillor Jackson asked if there were any plans for improving North Road access/plans to improve the bus service as the Stones Cross roundabout is perilous. She stated that she was also concerned about a series of planning applications resulting in a loss of retail sites in favour of flats and asked the officers view. The officer stated that it is hard to protect retail but that improvements outlined in the report will strengthen it. Regarding access, he explained that if there was a supermarket on South Road, this would improve access as there would have to be road improvements and money towards improvements in the access.

 

Councillor Jackson asked about Radstock Road depot and if there are any plans for development. The officer said he had no update on this and would report back.
