TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF LANE END, LOWER TYSOE

Department for Transport have opened a consultation seeking views on proposed changes to The Highway Code to improve safety for vulnerable road users, particularly the groups of:

• cyclists
• pedestrians
• horse riders

The main alterations to the code being proposed are:

• introducing a hierarchy of road users which ensures that those road users who can do the greatest harm have the greatest responsibility to reduce the danger or threat they may pose to others
• clarifying existing rules on pedestrian priority on pavements, to advise that drivers and riders should give way to pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross the road,
• providing guidance on cyclist priority at junctions to advise drivers to give priority to cyclists at junctions when travelling straight ahead
• establishing guidance on safe passing distances and speeds when overtaking cyclists and horse riders.

Follow the link for more information.

This consultation closes at 11:59pm on 27 October 2020

In the Extra-Ordinary Parish Council meeting on 22 July, the Parish Council approved the Annual Governance and Accountability Return (AGAR) to be sent to PKF Littlejohn, the external auditors.  The annual return is a health check for the office of the Parish Council; checking the processes and procedures that are in place and checking that there are no anomalies in our finances.

The unaudited AGAR has been published with this notice. As it has yet to be reviewed by the appointed auditor, it is subject to change as a result of that review.

Any person interested has the right to inspect and make copies of the accounting records for the financial year to which the audit relates and all books, deeds, contracts, bills, vouchers, receipts and other documents relating to those records must be made available for inspection by any person interested. For the year ended 31 March 2020, these documents will be available on reasonable notice by application to Beverley Thorpe, Parish Clerk & Responsible Financial Officer by contacting parish.clerk@tysoe.org.uk or calling 07938 633352.
