Parking at Cobleland : Marion McIntyre ( local resident ) raised concerns regarding the parking on the junction and along the road opposite the Cobleland campsite. When it was busy it obstructed the vision of vehicles exiting their homes. Also when vehicles were parked on either side of the road this could obstruct the buses and large wood lorries
GMcG will raise this with Cllr Martin Earl and Cllr Jeremy McDonald. Next meeting April 6th 2022 7.30 in Village Hall
