7. To consider bus shelters for bus stops in Ruskington. (Funding from LCC can be applied for.) Examples from suppliers circulated prior to the meeting.

Cllr Cunningham had undertaken research into bus shelters and recommended shelters for 3-5 people would be the most appropriate for Ruskington. Prices varied from £2,500- £5,000 per shelter. The manufacturers did not install the shelters, so this would require additional costs.

Action: The Clerk to arrange a meeting with the housing developer, who is required to install the base for a bus stop as part of the approved Lincoln Road housing development planning application, to discuss if the concrete base could be made large enough for a shelter to be sited on. It was hoped the developer would also help erect the bus shelter in this location. The Council would contribute towards its costs.  A meeting with the LCC Transport Team officer would also be arranged as required.

The meeting closed at 6.50pm.
