Eastleigh Borough Council Bursledon, Hamble-le-Rice and Hound Local Area Committee Meeting

Councillor Airey declared a non-pecuniary interest in agenda item 8 (planning application for Baytree House, 1 Grange Farm, Grange Road, Netley Abbey, SO31 5FF) as he knows the applicant’s daughter, and the applicant, in a professional capacity.

Councillor Airey commented on the Public Participation section of the minutes. He stated that construction on the footpath had already been underway when the concerns were raised so could not be changed. He said that the footpath seemed to be working well, but still needed finishing and that there had been a problem with a new road sign that had been half hidden in bushes but had since been moved and was now attached to a streetlight so that it could be seen more clearly.
