Talk With Us Open Forum To invite questions from the public present at the meeting on subjects other than those on the agenda. The Committee would encourage members of the public with more complex issues to submit their question 2 days before the meeting to allow a substantive answer to be given. Minutes: 20.1 The Chairman invited questions from those in attendance. The following maters were discussed: Mr David Buckley wrote
in regarding Winter Road Treatment in the Rudgwick Parish Council Area. He raised concern that certain roads had been removed from the
gritting routes and this could have safety repercussions. - Lynwick Street, connecting the northern part of the village at the top of a hill to the A281; - Loxwood Road which links the A281 to the B2133 at Loxwood; and - The Haven Road which links A281 to the A29. This road is a school bus route for the Weald School at Billingshurst and the Parish Council are very concerned at the impact not gritting this road could have on getting children to school. In addition, it was suggested West Sussex County Council should liaise with Surrey County Council to ensure consistency in approach and to maximise the roads treated. Members of the Committee agreed there were also concerns in other parishes across the area, such as Warnham where the main route through the village (again a bus route) will no longer be gritted. Whilst discussing this subject, concern was also raised about the reduction of weed spraying and the impact this has on the street scene and potential future maintenance liability. The Committee agreed to take this up with the Cabinet Member along with the Area Highways Manager in the form of a letter requesting a review.
