7. To receive any update on the installation of signage at the various entrances to Brickhill and agree action:

The Clerk discussed the various options regarding style of signage and cost. Cllr Fitzpatrick and Cllr Rider argued that it gave residents a sense of
identity and Cllr Fitzpatrick referred to a youth report undertaken by the parish council which showed most youths were unsure of where
Brickhill was.

Cllr Retout said that he had sent out 1000 letters to residents in East Ward asking for their opinion and had spoken to many East Ward residents
on the doorstep. In total he had received 89 responses opposed to the signage. He questioned the effectiveness of asking drivers to drive
carefully which would be included on the signage.

He expressed concern as to the length of time it took to get decisions acted upon. Cllr Fitzpatrick said that the purchase of the signs did not
prevent monies being spent on other projects which could be put on future agendas including the possibility of extending the pathway across
Waveney Green to Francis Groves Close if the parish council were successful in acquiring the additional land from the Borough.

It was resolved to purchase one gate style sign from Glasdon at a cost of approximately £650 to be located on Brickhill Drive and installed at a Clerk
cost of £300 by the Borough and two signs mounted on posts at a total cost including installation of £1020 from the Borough to be installed on
Rowallan Drive and Wentworth Drive.

This would be within the £2000 included in the budget for 2016-17 for signage.
