The 2021 Coddenham Annual Parish Meeting was held on the 6th May and three parishioners raised concerns about plans to address safety and congestion issues in the High Street and the possible impact on the village shop and residents parking.
The Parish Council were grateful to the parishioners that attended and raised these concerns. If there has been a misunderstanding, the Parish Council wish to make this statement to clarify the situation as follows:
1) There are no plans to change the parking or the road markings in front of or opposite the village shop.
2) There are no plans to change the parking or road markings in the High Street (other than Crown Corner) or anywhere else in Coddenham.
3) In response to a number of potential public safety issues the Parish Council has requested Suffolk County Council (SCC) to consider a small section of double yellow lines on the inside of Crown Corner (at the bottom of the High Street and shown for illustrative purposes as the red line in Figure 1 below).
4) Any changes of this nature are complicated and will require public consultation. The Parish Council will communicate details in the future once Suffolk County Council Highways have completed their surveys and Council Leader Matthew Hicks has agreed to fund further progress.
5) The Parish Council is actively seeking the removal of the abandoned Ford Ka near the bottom of the High Street to free up a parking space.
6) Matthew Hicks has agreed that SCC funding of white line painting will include the repainting of all existing white lines in Coddenham village.
