6.1.1 Car Park Lease – Still awaiting Fullers response, obviously due to COVID there has been a delay in negotiations.

6.1.2  Hybrid Line Scheme – Cllr Simper has written to the traffic Team expressing the disappointment regarding the yellow lines installed in the village, specifically the lack of any lines along the Gosport Road adjacent to the park and the lines painted over the driveways of Clinkers and The Village Hall/Dower House.

6.1.3 Large Sites – Local Plan update – currently there was no update from EHDC as to when the results of the plan would be revealed.

6.1.4 Litter – The Council have noticed an increase in the litter as the Lockdown measures are slowly lifted and visitor numbers start to increase. Sadly those coming to Chawton to picnic etc are reluctant to take their rubbish home with them. The Council agreed to increase the rubbish collections and place a notice on the Website to remind visitors to use bins or take their rubbish home.

The Clerk would arrange for 3 quotes for a tree survey on the rec area. There are some trees which are currently dead and need removal. Also a meeting with Jumbo Fuller would be arranged regarding the trees adjacent to the dead end car park.

A letter will be sent to the Cricket Club regarding parking on the rec area and also to ask that the anti social driving of the minority be addressed.
