144/00 2   Minutes
           The minutes of the meeting of 22 November 199 were approved and
           signed as a true record.

145/00 3   Bus Shelter - High Street
(55/00)    Confirmation that the shelter could be relocated in Cambridge Road
           had not yet been received.  JEC would pursue.
           RJF had not yet been able to contact the concerned parishioner.

146/00 4   A10/Butt Lane Junction - Response to Highways Agency
(103/00)   Highways Agency proposed installing traffic lights at Butt Lane
           junction.
           AGREED to support this scheme though the provision of a roundabout
                  was main aim.
           The clerk would query that the local press had reported that this
           scheme was proceeding before the consultation process had been
           completed.

147/00 5   Pedestrian Crossings Science Park
(235/99)   AGREED to support Napp's contention that the proposed relocation of
           pedestrian crossing number 2 was in the wrong place, as it would
           entail employees of Napp (the main users) making a detour of
           approximately 200 yards to cross the road.
           Unless there was a good reason for the relocation Committee would
           support original position.
           Letters to be sent to relevant Authorities.

148/00 6   Proposed Prohibition of Waiting Order Kings Hedges Drive

           the cycle bridge is built.
