The issue of dangerous driving around Gadbrook Park was brought up.

This has been noted on more than one occasion, often with the same vehicle being involved. Police advised to note down registration numbers of possible.

Several businesses mentioned parking problems around the double yellow lines on Gadbrook Road. The Police clarified that as Gadbrook Road is classed as a private road, there is little that can be done. They are unable to put further double yellow lines in. It was brought to attention that the main issue was that of cars parking close to junctions, therefore affecting visibility for drivers coming the other way. Several people agreed that this is a real problem. Police are going to look into this issue and take registration numbers of offending vehicles. Police advised that if it is noted that the same vehicles are continually parking in these areas, to try and identify which company these vehicles belong to and to speak with the companies involved.

One business brought to attention the problem of nuisance phone calls. The company involved had experienced several calls of a very unpleasant nature, but had not received any for a month prior to the meeting.
