At
the recent meeting the Chairman and members expressed their appreciation
to the members of The Town Council who delivered the new issue
of the Burgh directory “What's On and How To Get There” to their
wards, but were concerned that some areas had not been delivered.

Burgh Forward Voluntary Car Group is kept busy; all
drivers are fully approved authorised badge holders under the
County Council's approved scheme and are equipped with child seats.
Burgh
Trades Council : The committee will be monitoring the
effect of the bypass on trade as the season progresses. It was
decided that before the AGM in October to circulate the 80 members
of the Trades Council with a questionnaire to receive their response
on the impact of the bypass on their businesses and also any ideas
for further promotion of Burgh. |
It
was reported that members were concerned that the lack of parking
was restricting trade and requested the Forward Group to press
for a reveiw of parking now the through traffic has gone with
a view to removing some of the restrictions. Now that the town
Council is pursuing the establishment of a street market it was
felt that this issue needed some urgency.
The
Forward Group felt the bypass was having a positive effect for
the community and would be pleased to receive any suggestions,
comments or ideas that would help to further the well being of
Burgh le Marsh.
